Wow, we have a lot of pictures of our fun trip to CA for Christmas! Let's start with part one...
We hopped in the car, stopped at Smashburger on the way over the mountain, and then McDonald's in Grand Junction late at night to get the kids' wiggles out. We really enjoyed listening to "Dewey the Library Cat" on CD!
Good little travelers.
Early in the morning Jim driving through Las Vegas area.
Yay! We're here at Gpa & Gma's! (I remember seeing a similar picture of Heidi, Gretchen, and me...)
It's always so nice to be back at Granada.
The boys love typing on Auntie Bell's old typewriter. Now Wade is getting in on the fun.
Lots of cousin and Grandpa time, watching sports together.
Cousins!
The boys made little parlies out of blankets.
Mom, Dad, the boys, and I walked down to Broadway Park and stopped along the way out in front of the old Comstock home place where Grandma Seelye's Dad Arnold and his sister Elizabeth (Aunt Boo Boo) grew up. Aunt Boo Boo sold it to Uncle Ed & Aunt Luanne eventually. There's an old ring out in front where people used to tie up their horses!
There it is.
We have had many a birthday party at Broadway Park growing up, and loved performing on this stage so we enjoyed it again with the boys.
Love this very Whittier, CA view!
Wade enjoyed picking up pinecones.
Nice to have Grandma around!
Garrett enjoyed getting to pick an orange OFF THE TREE. :)
Wyatt loved getting to climb in the old plumb tree.
Delicious dinners around the table together!
We walked uptown to Winchell's for donuts one morning. Fun to get the whole uptown Whittier experience together. Many a walk I've had with friends and family to uptown!
We had such a nice get-together at Kim & Cory's house. So nice catching up with dear Granada friends!
Breakfast at Grammy and Poppa's was so nice. Here Grammy was hearing all about Garrett's new camera.
So fun to get taken into the backyard orchard to pick limes!
Abby invited us over for some fellowship, dirt-digging and swinging fun!
Rose showing Jim her book.
Lee playing trains with Wade.
We loved getting down to the beach!
