Well I packed these three girls up and ditched James! For spring break that is. I drove to see my mom and dad in good old California! I left early on tuesday the 12th, about 8 a.m. and got to Roseville to surprise my Dad and sister at work about 6 p.m. California time. LONG DRIVE! But we made it. The girls did start to go a little batty when we were almost to Reno, and then we had dinner and potty breaks and stretched outside the car a little. We were on the homestretch now! Thank goodness for the DVD player! It was a lifesaver!
We had so much fun! We went shopping the next day and Logan bought some earrings for herself. I paid for some of them for her for helping me out in the car with Sierra. She wasn't always too happy about it, but she still got the job done. It was nice to have a helper!
The girls also got in the pool and played on the steps at Grandma and Grandpa's. We went over to Target and found matching swimming suits for them (and matching easter dresses too). It was a little chilly to get all the way in, but they still had hours of fun out there! I'm convinced. We need a backyard!
My friend Sharsten from high school came over with her two cute girls, Eden and Sydney. The girls we a bit shy to each other at first but they had fun playing with the pet shops and in the pool! It was so fun to see them!
Later that day went to Folsom Lake. Andrea invited us to go out with her dogs and let the girls throw the balls in for the dogs! It was a pretty nice day and the girls had fun with Aunt Annie and the dogs!
One afternoon we went and bought some easter eggs to hang from Grandma and Grandpa's tree in the front yard. I saw the idea on someone else's house when we went for a walk around mom and dad's neighborhood. I think it looked pretty cute, plus we had to leave our mark there, so mom and dad wouldn't forget we came! :) This was after church on sunday.
After church we went to go visit one of my other high school friends, Karen, and her family. They had us over for lunch and then we both put our babies down for naps and took Logan and Autumn to the park across the street from her house. It was such a fun relaxing afternoon and they were great hosts! After the girls played at the park for a while we let the girls play back at the house for a few minutes and then it was time to go! Thanks for having us Karen and Glen!

Sierra and Karen's son Quinten! They are about 5 months apart and about the same size! He is such a cute and good little boy. I'm so happy for Karen and Glen!
On our way home from Karen's I wanted to she the girls my old elementary school and house. So here we are having a little trip down memory lane. It was fun to show them, and fun for me to see again. Even though my parents only live a few minutes from the school and old house, I never go by when we are there. It had been a long time. So many memories at these places!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for putting up with us! It was so nice to not have a schedule to have to remember and just come and go as we please! Vacations are wonderful, I'm pretty sure we need them more often. We come with a lot of work, but we hope you had fun with us! We know we had fun and hope we can come again soon!

I still can't believe you packed up and drove all the way to CA with your girls by yourself. I'm glad you could do it though and it sounds like you had a great vacation. The eggs in the trees are a great idea too.
