ARRIVING IN CALIFORNIA JANUARY 20th-22nd

John, Grandma Ellen, the dogs and myself ventured to California to help the kids out while they took the two oldest one's on a Disney Cruise we stayed with their youngest, Creed. We spent a couple of days with the whole Cali family before they left, so we got to enjoy the two older ones.

This is one of their many malls, we took Creed and Cole on the train

while waiting for Nicole to exchange her boots.

Mike showed us where he works
The Cali family had to take Grandma to get the famous hamburger

at the Habitt and shaved ice next door after the hamburger

The next day Mike took us to the beach.

It was very windy and cold so we did not stay too long.

I love this picture, Mike is helping Grandma up the hill,

while the cute little ducklings follow behind.

John, Grandma and the dogs settling in for a long week ahead of them

Saturday Nicole baked a chocolate bunt cake for my birthday,

then they took us out to dinner

Happy Birthday to Me

Mike played church ball Saturday evening so we went to watch

Their little dog, Buster is as cute as can be. He was so good for us while we were there
