Trip home

We had such a fun time in California visiting my family!! I wish we could've stayed longer, there was so much more I wanted to do. We drove all day Wednesday in a rental car we shared with Suzanne and Ryan and got to my parents house around 5. The boys spent most of the night playing Wii with Nathan, and I introduced my parents to my new favorite game Racko. They were hooked, and I actually got sick of it by the end of our trip.

Thursday my mom had to work so the rest of us got up and played some tennis at Alan Witt Park. This was all Nathan's idea, and it was fun. Apparently he's getting really into tennis, so we'll see where that goes. We played for a bit then hit the showers and met my mom for lunch at In-N-Out. Then we ran some errands and went home and Nellie, Ryan, and Evie showed up! We all visited for a bit and then Jason and I went to our favorite sushi place for dinner...DELICIOUS!! I miss good sushi, living in a land-locked state is no bueno. Then the whole family went to the mall to do some birthday shopping for Nathan. After that we came home and wrapped presents at lightning speed and then Nathan opened them and we had cake. (we did this a day early because his real birthday would be spent in San Francisco. Jason and I got him a Tim Lincecum shirt and split the cost of 

Mario Kart for the Wii.

Friday was AWESOME! Suzanne, Ryan, Nathan, Jason and I drove into SF and had some fun. First we went to visit my grandpa Farmer's grave in the National Cemetery, then we went to the pier and had lunch at this amazing place that I can't remember the name of. I had the most delicious crap cake sandwich, and I plan on going there again. We walked around and bought some candy then we headed over to the Giants game. That was fun, except they lost. But at least we got to have garlic fries.

Saturday we went to Jelly Belly to buy some treats and then we had a late lunch at BJ's in Vacaville. We got to have pazookies, and they even put a candle in Nathan's. After that we went home and had a game night that included apples to apples and phase 10. 

Sunday I woke up early and went to choir with my mom because they were singing "God be with you till we meet again" as the closing song and I wanted to sing too. It was great visiting my home ward and seeing so many familiar faces. Some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins were there too which was great. Nathan got ordained just before the third hour and that was so cool to see. After church the whole family came over for lunch and 

we played games and talked. 

Overall Sunday was a great day, and the whole trip was so much fun! We left early the next morning and then Jason and I got back to Rexburg early Tuesday morning so Jason could start his new job at Wal Mart in Idaho Falls. Whew!
