To grandmother (and grandfathers) house we go

At the end of July we took a trip to mom and dad's for a week and a half. It was great to have everyone there. Kathryn came with us and Bren and Krista were there with their kids too. The hot spot was the pool, for the majority of the trip! We also went to visit Annie and all her furry friends. Bill was at work, but they did come over quite a few times to spend time with us. We also celebrated Bill's birthday while we were home, and Mom and Dad's 37th anniversary. The kids all we to a ward primary activity that was like the kids olympics. I think they older ones pretended it was lame, and the younger ones had fun. Oh well, it was something for them to do :) Next up: California State Fair Super hot, crowed, and expensive, didn't make for the best circumstance for all the kiddos. We got to see a lot of cool stuff though. It was fun for them at first, but they were ready to go by the end. Grandma paid for all the grandkids to go to this awesome trampoline/ foam pit jumping place. The kids all had a great time! I got to go to the train museum in Old town Sacramento with my two older girls and with my friend Karen and her son Quinten. It's fun to see the trains up close and go inside them too! Her little boy is obsessed with trains now, so he had a blast. Cute boy! We had a picnic lunch outside the museum and then visited the candy shop. I even got to sneak out for a movie with Kathryn one night! Me and my two younger girls had lunch at Andrea Brookes (sister in law/friend i grew up with) house with all my friends from high school. It was so fun to have almost all of our kids there playing together. That was a first for us! Sad I didn't get any pictures of that. We had a wonderful visit and hope to go home and visit again soon!
