Visiting my Aunt Cheryl- April 2010

My Aunt Cheryl and cousin Alicyn have not been able to meet Paige yet. Work has been good for Justin, and Paige is getting better with traveling so we decided to finally take the 5 1/2 hour drive to Southern California to visit. We left around Lunchtime on Friday. We took Mikaila with us. While Paige did only sleep 45 minutes on the way down, she did very well. She just watched movies and played games. We got in around dinner time. Got settled in. Paige & Gaven had a great time playing together until it was well past bedtime for Paige. It took a while to get her to sleep, but she slept fairly well. She did wake up at 6AM anyways, but it was not a bad night.

Saturday, we went to lunch at Red Lobster. Chelsie drove up from San Diego to hang out with us. We went shopping at our favorite store, the T-Mart and then headed off to Charlie Brown Farms. This is where we bought our favorite pickles, and some great beef jerkey. I bought a coffee shake, and got Paige a sugar free strawberry shake which she loved.

She did not nap well that day either. We had a great dinner, including some Lobster tails. But I was late coming down for dinner because it took Paige a while to get to sleep. We had a great time laughing as a family, and went to bed a while later. Paige did wake up a few times, but I just rubbed her back for a minute and she was back asleep. Not much sleep for me though.

On Sunday, we headed out to LA and went to a farmers market. We had lunch and did some shopping. Chelsie headed home from there, and we drove back to Palmdale. We loaded up the car and headed home. Got in about 10:30 and went right to sleep. It was a fun, but exhasting trip.

The kids all had a great time playing with Justin, who explored the skateparks and streets of Palmdale. They also took a bath together, which was so cute. And we went "Swimming" in the hot tub.
