Cali Trip Woohoo!!

Ok so last week my mom, my little sister, myself and the kids took a trip to Cali to visit my older sister and spend some quality time together just us girls and Owen. We left Wednesday and just got back today (Sunday). The kids did really well the drive there and back. We had to stop a few times and let Owen run and be free for a moment. The kids had a great time at the beach. This was Owen first visit to the beach and he loved it! Marissa had a great time too playing with sissy (Melissa) and Monica. We also took the kids to Long Beach Aquarium. Owen was unsure about it at first. We watched the Sea Lions swimming around and that totally freaked Owen out. Every time they swam by the glass Owen would squeeze my neck so hard. He did the same thing at the shark tank. He didn't ease up and until we got to the tropical fish and he saw all the bright colors and the fish weren't bigger than him. It was so fun shopping and hanging out at the beach just us girls (and Owen). Thank you Melissa for letting us crash at your place! You are an amazing sister! Can't wait to see you again!
