Our next stop was in Mesquite. The kids picked McDonald's for lunch. No surprise there. They had fun running around on the play place and we all ate and stretched. Even Talia ate some yogurt. She's such a big girl these days.
Our last stop before my parent's house was in Baker. Man, it was hot! We stopped in for some ice cream at DQ and it barely kept the heat at bay. Good thing it was cooler in La Habra.
btw about 4 seconds after Ian took this picture the thermostat said 111 degrees.
We made good time and got into town in time to go out for dinner at the gourmet food trucks. It was a fun experience. I was surprised at how crowded it was! We ate tailgate style and visited. We were all tired though, so as soon as we got home the kids crashed.
Saturday morning I took the boys in the "pool." It felt so nice. Once we all got dressed and going (after lunch) we went to the nickelcade to play some games. Ian loves the Nickelcade by my parents house because it has his favorite game, Prop Cycle. :) He spent the entire time playing on it. We earned some tickets and got the boys some fun little toys.
Afterwards we drove over to the bowling alley and got to cosmic bowl in the middle of the afternoon! I have to admit that I kind of prefer bowling with the lights on. I do better. Oh well, it was still lots of fun.
Mom and I went shopping after bowling. I hadn't been to the Brea Mall in probably 8 years. So many things had changed that I hardly knew my way around. Weird. I got something new to wear to my high school reunion. That night I went to a wedding with my mom. I didn't know anyone there except the Green's, but it was still pretty fun. They had a shaved ice "bar" with gourmet shaved ice flavors. I had the root beer float one. It was amazing. Seriously.
Sunday we went to church. I enjoyed seeing old family friends. Weston loved visiting another ward and Davin was pretty stoked about all the different toys to play with in nursery. That evening we went to dinner at the Green's. It was such a blast! We don't get together too often anymore, but Blake and Paige, Jordan and Freesia, and Vance and Quinn were all there, so we had dinner and homemade ice cream then stayed up late playing Things. Good times.

Yay for a trip home!! It is always nice going home. I still love goinghome and I only live an hour away :)
Love it!!! :)
Wow. . .looks like we had fun ;-) I found one black sock of either Davin's or Weston's in the church red bag (that I emptied and took to Wild Rivers today). I'll send it back with Mel. So far that's all I've seen. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip :-)
Blake from freshman year??
Ok I had to laugh at the photo of Ian on his favorite arcade game. Silly kid. Justin is the same way about Big Buck Hunter or whatever various names it has. So funny.
I didn't realize you were going to your high school reunion. I'm jealous. Ours is next month and I kinda wish I could go. But not nearly enough to fly to VA.
Looks like you had fun, I'll look forward to more posts. :)
I think Ian missed the sign that says "No one over this size may play"
I loved trips to Utah as a kid. We always stopped in Mesquite and Beaver too! Loved that big thermometer too! It gets HOT there! So fun you were able to visit with good friends while in California!
