California Trip, December 26 – January 2
Our Oroville trip: Monday – 7:00am leave PG – 4:30pm get to Oroville! Eat Dinner with EVERYONE and have our Robertson gift exchange and presents from and to my mom and dad! Josh and Mal were there but had to leave that evening. Christy and Rob had just gotten there and all of the singles were home (missing Ryans fam and Tracies fam).
Tuesday – games in the morning and Erica and her kids came to play with us! That afternoon we went to the Park for ultimate and football and pizza. That night mom made her Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and we played more games and watched BYU basketball.
Wednesday – all of the kids went to Kevin and Liz’s in the morning to play on their new swing set, We played more games at Gmas – TwinkleBear, Nertz, Dominion, Ticket, and Small World were some of the regulars. The Eggers left that afternoon and that evening my mom watched the kids so Ben and I could go to dinner with some Friends! and we played games before bed 🙂
Thursday – We went over to say bye to Than and Erica, played games, Brittney came over, I shopped with mom and then at 4:00 we left for the Kings game in Sacramento. We met up with Josh and Payton and the Eggers so we had 20 of us at the game and we all cheered for Jimmer. And again my mom stayed home and watched my kids! We got home late and watched the recorded byu basketball game before crashing.
Friday– the engine light in the van had come on so I took it to the shop, spark plug did the trick!, BYU football at 9am, Power wheels in the back yard, spaghetti and games.
Saturday – play games! (yes, that is a daily occurence) 1:00 go to Hulas, run errands in Chico, 5:00 home, Ben to get treats, Lumpia!! games, nap, liars dice, New Years! Cousins taking turns throwing up.
Sunday – 9:00 church, games, pack, games, ham and potatoes, pack, play, chat:
Monday- 7:30 leave (already 8:30 Utah time), Nevada City = Speeding Ticket! ok – we were speeding but you were camped out 5 ft before the speed limit increases by 10 and we would have been fine – not cool. The most not cool part was that all of the kids were asleep – awoken abruptly by the police man 🙁 and Ben rolled down his window for the cop MOMENTARILY FORGETTING that our windows are broken! So we got a ticket, had 4 wide awake kids and then played freeze-out for the next 2 hours while we tried to crank on the window and get it all the way up!! not fun. Next time I’ll keep driving and mail you the 300$! From there we only stopped in Lovelock and then Wendover at 4:00, grabbed Mcdonalds for tha too many-eth time that month. Another successful 11 hour trip!
