Southern California

Anali already looks like an American tourist.

Asher is at the most beautiful beach he's been to in his life and

all he can think about is getting into this granola bar!

Anali didn't need a day pass to Disneyland...

just a twin mattress on the floor with cartoon sheets.

She's mid-air here!

Her favorite pastime was jumping on the bed

in front of Aunt Letha's full-length mirror.

A pilot waiting on his plane opened his cockpit window and waved at the kids.

Asher was in heaven watching the planes.

Vacationing with kids. I wouldn't call it a vacation, but I would call it a good time. It's more work than it seems worth when you're packing to go or return home, but those funny moments when you realize they are just kids, and they can have fun anywhere, make you just glad to be their parent, at home or at the beach.

We sure enjoyed visiting family in California! Thanks for keeping us! Love you!
