our California summer

So, what fun it is to travel with such good kids. Hailey and Zach really enjoyed flying. It had been about a year, so the experience was all new again. Lots of snacks, toys and activities and before you know it, we were in California.
Grandma Barlow was there to pick us up. But she forgot who she was picking up.....I mean, she brought the small car! Oops! Mike's golf clubs almost had to hitch a ride with the next family going to Simi Valley, but we just bent them in half and made them fit!!!


Grandma Barlow just loves to play the piano and tried to give Zach a little lesson....maybe in a few years, but we all enjoyed singing songs together for awhile.






Our next fun adventure (after driving all around town, seeing what was new, visiting old favorites and remembering what we had forgotten since we left) was to go to the train station...... we waited and waited and waited for a train to arrive. When it FINALLY got there, we had just enough time to get a few pictures then it sped off. It was worth the wait. Our family loves trains.
