Day 1 and Day 2 (sun and mon)

Day 1 in Ca was a lazy Sunday.  After a disastrous series of gate changes and several hours of flight delays in Dallas, we finally arrived at my parents' house in Hollister at 3:30 in the morning (that's 5:30am our time).  I let everyone sleep in as late as they wanted and we spent the rest of the day just hanging around, visiting with my family and relaxing.

A few highlights:

-family BBQ dinner with Amy, HolleeAnn, and Mark's families.

-eating amazing ribs and tri tip from Uncle Mark's awesome new pellet smoker (I totally want a smoker now)

-Reading Heaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson while the kids played and played and played

-Grandma's broken toe (that one was a lowlight) 

 -playing on grandpa's "ipaddy"

-Grandma's toy closet

-presents from auntie

-reading Stuart Little together

-following a map to walk to auntie's new house

 -playing with Jordan

-an afternoon in auntie's magical playroom/classroom

 -my dad's face

 -story time with Auntie HolleeAnn

 -the long awaited reunion with Coco the wonder dog

-Super Taq aka the best tacos ever made. No contest.

 -evidence of satisfied bellies. Yum. I miss those tacos and green sauce already.

-watching Zachary kill it at the championship game. He hit a home run over the fence, pitched, got the game ball, and his team won the championship!  

 -wearing jackets and blankets because it was coooooold! 

 -The concession stand at the ballpark.  Why?  Well because baseball concessions in Ca aren't limited to hot dogs and popcorn.  Noooo....this place was decked out with churros and tacos! Yes, please! 

-the play horses at grandmas and Corbin's new bag of toy story "guys".
