We were fortunate enough this summer to be able to visit Sandy's parents in California for a week. It was definitely a long drive, but we split it into two days which was a life saver. This is beautiful Mount Shasta....it was amazing to be able to look at if for so much of our drive.
This is Addi during part of our 40-minute conversation about why Jesus had to die on the cross. The two best moments were when she realized that even though Jesus in her book is on the cross, that he's alive, "Jesus, is alive...I can hardly believe it." and when she decided that she would give Jesus her blanket to help him feel better. I love three year olds.
We went to several parks during the week. This was our favorite. Addi loved driving the fire engine. Nana was a good sport and went along as her co-pilot.
The weather was beautiful and their deck is beautiful and the people are beautiful.
Pops, Addi, Nana
This picture is a little dark, but Adalie took it..not bad.
One evening we went to a Pops concert at the park. It was
fun to reconnect with old friends. This is the first documented eye roll...3 going on 13.
Addi helping Nana water the flowers. About 5 hours after this picture, it rained about two inches....sorry drowning flowers...oops!
Ok, short story....long....Sandy has gone back to school and is studying accounting. He's able to do a distance program through Linfield College that's 100% online. That's the great part. The bummer was that classes started during this week of vacation. So, he took a much needed study break to ax out some of this stump. He got a good chunk of it out too, but had to quit when his ax broke :-) good work love.

Nana and Addi made some cake and Addi got to decorate it.

Nana even had some little cake pans and made Addi her very own
little birthday cake. So wonderful.
After a wonderful week in California, we drove up to Tillamook, OR for a Snavely family reunion. (Nicole's mom's side of the family.) We stayed in a couple of big houses right on a bay..wonderful. Here's all of us on the steps of one of our houses. I always love these reunions because not only do we get to see family that I dearly love, but everything is soooo laid back. Perfect vacation....minus the flu!
