CALIFORNIA TRIP JANUARY 27th - 31st

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27th
THE SANTA BARBARA ZOO
This is one of the highlights to my trip. I loved watching Creed get excited about all the animals.


Creed also loved the play ground at the zoo. I think he slid down this hill about a hundred times!

The gorilla was sitting right up against the window. Creed had a great view of this big guy.
Grandpa John gave Creed some food to feed the fish and ducks. Creed really loved throwing the food out and watching them all fight over it.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28th
SANTA MONICA PIER


We enjoyed walking around the pier and checking out all the verdure's and performers. The day was warm and sunny. The pier was full of visitors and excitement.





Grandma never got as warm as we would have liked her to be, but she was a good sport and dressed accordingly and let us drag her around to all the places we thought she and Creed would enjoy. All in all we think she had a good time, but the trip was just a little too long for her. I think it took her a week to re-coop afterwards.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 29th
We stayed home and rested
SUNDAY, JANUARY 30th
Sunday morning the Strong's arrived back home from their cruise. Grandma Ellen was packed and ready to go, so we left late morning and arrived in St George early evening. Jean and Vince let us stay with them. Monday morning we headed for Ephraim to drop off Grandma. That afternoon we were home and ready for bed. It was a fun, but long trip for all of us. We loved our one on one time with our little boy Creed.
Thanks Mike and Niki for the beautiful blown glass ship and yes it is in my curio, I would not put it anywhere else.
