Visiting the Nichols' in California



How fun! We flew out of Salt Lake on Sat. morn. Got our rental mini-van (Beautiful shade of Periwinkle Purple) and drove to Bakersfield. We were the last ones to the church to eat. Imagine that. We went and checked into our hotel. Took a while as they had given away my reservation(long story). Drove to Pump it up for Gracie and Maddie's Birthday party! Had lots of fun till Reece hit his head on an inflateable tube and moved a toothpick shard in his throat that gave him fits.


Then on Sunday we were greeted "eagerly" at church! Everyone wanted to know if we were new to the ward and kinda seemed upset to know we were just visiting. Justin fell asleep in testimony meeting and was dreaming aabout eating marshmallows and tried to eat the bench and his hand!

Back to Torrie and Sheridans for Chicken! mmm. Sat around and talked till about 9:30 or ten. Next morn(labor day) the Nicholas' and Grand ma D went with us to Santa Monica Beach. There were alot of people! The weather was hot and the waves were high so the people didn't bother the kids at all.

Later that night after our good byes we went to see the Los Angeles Angels play the Oakland Athletics. It was very hot in the Stadium. Thank goodness we were in the shade! The next day we went to Disneyland and that night another ball game. Wednesday back to Disney California. Got up early Thursday morn to take back the "rental" (theres a joke there) and be to the airport by 8:30 a.m. We had a great time and nobody was grouchy and nobody faught! I think we might even try it again!
