California Trip...Part IV

Sunday

On Sunday we got up early and headed to church. You might be thinking....you went to church on your vacation...while camping?!? And yes we did. In fact the whole campground is pretty much LDS and we all go to the same meeting. Its fun to see all our fellow campers dressed up and looking somewhat pretty....but still reeking of campfire smoke! The ward we go to always looks forward to us coming and makes comments about how the missionaries must be really doing their job with all the investigators there that day!! On our way home we stopped and attempted to take a family picture in front of the campground sign...it didn't go so well! When we got back Erika stripped out of her dress and took off playingShe only came back once to grab some of her leftover cotton candy from Boardwalk before she was off again.Lexi was happy sitting on a tarp and eating as many pretzels as she could stuff in her mouth at one time!I had to get a picture of Trent too. He drink a glass of milk and he only has milk like once a year so I had to document it! He gave into the peer pressure and had a glass of ice cold milk from the ice chest and a cupcake!Lexi took naps in the trailer and when she would wake up she would poke her head out the window and start yapping at us to let us know she was ready to come out and play!We also played some Minute to Win It games and Trent mastered the tilted soda can!While the adults packed up the girls wandered around and played for the last time before being stuck in a car for a couple hours!
Monday

Originally we were suppose to leave Monday to head home but since I didn't have a job to return to and Trent didn't have school until Tuesday night we decided to stay one more day. Erika woke up early so she could help Grandpa mow the lawn. She kept telling me that she got to drive the lawn mower even though she didn't have a drivers license!After we got all the camping stuff cleaned up and put away we all put on our swimsuits and hung out by the pool all afternoon.
Um...Nanny....I think her goggles might be too tight!Lexi had fun playing with the dishes and could care less if she got in the water!We took a short break to have some pizza for lunch but we went right back into the water after we were done!After we got all cleaned up Erika helped me pick some cherries in the backyard and Trent snapped some pictures of her playing in the flower ground cover at the top of the hill.She can sure give some dirty looks! She's still cute though!Taking time to stop and smell the flowersWe also taught Erika how to ride the skateboard down the hill and steer so she wouldn't crash into anything. Don't ask me how I took this AWESOME picture because I have no idea!Before we had dinner we decided to go get some frozen yogurt. Erika was in heaven getting to pick out all the toppings she wanted!That night they through a birthday party for me. Erika was charge of handing me presents and then opening them for me!What a goof ball!
My cute little child!!My Mom made me my FAVORITE birthday dessert...homemade Strawberry pie...yummy!I couldn't blow out all my candles!! I'm such a wuss!! On Tuesday morning we hit the road bright and early. It was such a fun trip and I wish we could have stayed longer but oh well! We always look forward to vacationing with family!
