June Already?

Okay time for another Catch up, SO much has been going on!! First we went to California for a week to go camping with my parents up in Mammoth. We had a blast! Before we went camping we were able to visit Jeff's Grandma who has not been herself lately. We sure miss being able to spend more time with her. We took her and Her dog Dusty for a walk to the park. This dog is way to strong for her so he only gets walked if Jeff's Dad or Uncle is around. Since his parents were going to be gone for a Month in China, We thought Dusty would like stretching his legs. Great Grandma Reynolds loved watching the kids play at the park. After that we were off to Disneyland ( a must during our California Trips)We were so lucky to have Kristy, Ian and Kennady go with us! The kids loved it, the longest line we had to wait in was about 20 min! Then we helped Grandpa and Billy get ready for our fishing trip. I don't even know if we can technically call it camping because Grandpa and Billy had Trailers delivered to our campsite for us to stay in. They were fully equipped with electricity, heaters, hot water, etc. It snowed almost the whole time we were there which was unexpected. My Dad and Billy have been making this trip every Memorial Day for years and have never had weather like this. The trailers were sure nice to have during a couple heavy snow falls. My kids have only been in snow one other time so of course they wanted to enjoy every minute of it. It was such a great trip. Just to give you a little history, Because this used to be a guys trip with My Dad, Billy, some Cousins, uncles, etc. They do all the planning and preparing for it. It is kind of funny to listen and watch. My Dad and Brother start planning around January, make the reservations etc. They also arrange with all the other families that are coming what food assignments are and Meals etc. They also do all the packing, Food Shopping, Literally EVERYTHING for this trip. I don't know to many guys that would plan a trip from A-Z for several families and pull it off in such a fantastic way. I was impressed. Every meal was cooked for us, cleaned up, and served! No joke! Billy had Breakfast ready every morning before we were out of our trailer, Complete with Hot Chocolate. Side note, I was FREEZING the whole time! They even made sure we had a Fire going All day and All night! We had so much fun visiting, playing games, horseshoes, badminton, cards, etc. Kristy and I took the kids on a hike around this Beautiful Stream that ran through our campsite! My dad Always makes sure they get the same camp sites every year.

Parker went Fishing for the first time ever. Uncle John, Uncle Billy, and Zac helped him, ( there was not a chance I was going to fish!) Parker caught 3 fish. He loved it. Two of them were good sized and one was the size of an anchovy. We can not wait to go again, and be able to have Jeff come with us! Thanks Dad and Uncle Billy for a great Trip. The kids and I will never forget it.

Okay so sorry this is such a long post, I just needed to document, if you are a sport and still reading this, I will let you in on a little secret...we are expecting Baby # 3 finally!

Here are some pictures of our trip, As soon as I figure out how to get the pictures off my Video camera I will have more.
