Our Trip to Cali for Madeline's Blessing

We had a great weekend - it started Friday as we picked up BJo from Cheney (girls basketball camp) and went to the Spokane airport.  We flew to Ontario with one stop in Vegas.
I really don't do planes very well, but did enjoy the fact that I wasn't driving for two days straight to get there and then the same coming back home.

We rented a car and drove from Ontario to Yucaipa  

where Brandon and Megan live. We went out to eat, visited and spent the night with them ...


Saturday afternoon we drove to Blythe where Gregory and Adena live. We visited and played and ate and ...



celebrated my birthday ...,

and, Sunday was Maddie's blessing.

Daughter of Gregory and Adena Hebdon


We left Blythe Tuesday afternoon and drove back to Yucaipa to stay with Brandon and Megan again. Wednesday morning we went with them to Redlands for a great little 4th of July parade (around the park full of booths) ...,


and then left for Ontario to board a plane.  Anthony spent some time on one flight folding a dollar bill into this jet - there were still a couple folds left after I took this picture.




Oh! Thanks to all of the families that set off fireworks in the Othello and Royal area (even some in Ritzville) as we participated in them on our drive home (yip, in the dark) - they were great!

We are home again and things are picking up where they left off ....
It's good to be home, but we already miss our children and grandchildren that we just visited ... can't wait for the next time we can get together.

I always forget that Brandon lives in the same city as my brother, I think they are in the same ward. What a fun vacation for you guys and darling little granddaughter.
