Sometimes we don't realize how far away we live from everyone until we hop in the car to make an incredible trek to see everyone. We decided to power out the 24 hour drive to California without stopping. Tom drove all but the last two hours. First stop was at Aunt Cynthia's house in Valenica, CA. We were spoiled by cousins, aunts and uncles! Brandon and Joey were Austin and Axel's idols!
Uncle Nathan with Axel. We were able to see 7 of my 8 siblings, all nieces and nephews except Tera's kids, and all in-laws (except one) in this three week adventure. We were able to see all of Tom's family except Gena and her family.
We stayed at Marty's house in Oceanside with Tom's family and went to the beach a few times. Hannah wanted to bury Austin and he was loving it!
Breaking out!
Sarah was baptized and the kids had so much fun with Mason, Avery, Hannah, Jenna, Allison, and Sarah.
Here is Joey with Axel on the trampoline!
While serving in Yreka, California on my mission, I came to know the Stocks family well! I was able to teach Ray and Judy Stocks and see them baptized. This is the family I went back after my mission to stand proxy for Judy as Ray and Judy were sealed. Their son Dan baptized them both. He lives in Pismo Beach and kept asking when we were coming for a visit. We went up for a day and they spoiled us with kayaking out in the ocean. We went through caves and waves and had such a great time! Here is Austin holding down the kayak.
Here are the boys looking at the ocean before we went out!
This is about as good of a family picture we get anymore! Ready for the water!
