CA Trip- Double Date & Palmdale

After our high adventures at Disneyland we decided to take Tuesday easy. We slept in, had a leisurely breakfast . . . oh wait. No, we were up by 7am and had Cocoa Puffs for breakfast. :) Anyway, we went and met up with my Dad for lunch in the park. It was SO nice to be able to play at the park since in UT it has been too cold for the park for months. The boys came home and all took naps, which was fabulous. When we all woke up we got to swim in Grandma B's pool. Really it is just the hot tub that we turn down to 95 degrees and splash around in, but it's as good as a pool for the kids. Davin loved the water and had a blast splash splash splashing.

That evening Ian and I left the boys with my dad and we headed out for our official date. We doubled with my sister, Jules and her boyfriend, Jason. It was quite the marathon date. First we all got massages at Happy Feet (which felt amazing), then dinner at Lucille's (Yum). After dinner we tried to go mini golfing, but it was already closed, so we detoured to Jules' apartment to grab socks and went bowling instead. We all pretty much sucked it up at bowling, but the evening still ended on a good note with frozen yogurt at Yogurtland. It was fun to hang out with Jules and Jason. Ian and I could barely keep up though. We got home late and were exhausted. I don't know how I did that night after night when I was single.
Wednesday morning we got up fairly early and drove out to Palmdale to visit with Ian's Grandma, Aunt Teri, Uncle Mike, Todd, Jenni, and baby Preston. It was a pretty relaxed visit. We just hung out with Grandma and watched Wall-E then headed to Todd and Jenni's for pizza and playtime. The 3 boys played well together and Weston LOVED all the fun new toys to play with.

Here are all 3 of the Bowles great grandkids. Davin, Preston, and Weston.
Grandma Bowles getting lovins from Dav. He actually took a nice long nap that afternoon, so he managed to stay awake until 8pm.
We really are so grateful to have such awesome family (on both sides) that we really love and wish we could hang out with on a more regular basis. In the meantime we will just have to continue making the most of our visits!
