Trip to California!

For Fall Break, we took a trip to Stephen's sister's house just outside of San Francisco. We had wanted to go and see her and her family for a quite some time now but always took holidays to see our parents in Washington. We thought this was a good time to go! They have a 3 1/2 year old boy, Jordan, and a 1 1/2 year old girl, Kelsey. Peyton and Jordan played great for about the 1st 2 days but then got a little tired of each other =) Peyton LOVED all of Jordan's awesome fun toys!

Here's Jordan and Peyton playing!
Luke was such a good, content little guy (as always)! Kelsey really liked Luke, or maybe she just found him interesting.

One of the things Luke does best =)
The view by Jennifer and Justin's house. It's really pretty there and they live in such a nice little community! The weather was great and we had such a good time! The adults played games one night after the kids went to bed and that was a blast! It was the most time Stephen had spent with his sister, brother-in-law and their kids since he had been home from his mission - it was very much needed!


We went into San Francisco one day and drove around and of course had to go over the Golden Gate Bridge!


Alcatraz is in the background to the right of me. It was windy that day if you couldn't tell!


We went down the most "crookedest" street in the US - Lombard street. This picture doesn't do it justice but it's the best I got! Just back and forth like this picture shows!
Jordan and Peyton riding on the scooters, which Peyton LOVED!




Kelsey, Peyton, and Jordan in the tub!

It is about 12 hours each way from here to there and both boys did FANTASTIC! Each way, we stopped once at McDonalds so Peyton could play on toys and then we stopped only an additional once or twice for gas. I cannot believe how great my kids do in the car. Of course, we go prepared with toys and lots of snacks! We are so happy we went and thank Justin and Jennifer a million for everything!!
