They're Back.......

We had a wonderful trip to Northern California. We left on Wednesday morning and stopped for the night in Eldorado Hills with the S&K Wheeler family. We had so much fun there, it was hard to leave, so hard in fact that we took their oldest son, J, with us. The rest of his family followed the next day. We spent Thursday to Sunday at the Wheeler Cabin with 33 out of the 37 members of the Wheeler family. Then Ken and I split up and traveled to Rocklin with the J&G Wheeler Family. Ken drove with his brother and I got to spend some time with a wonderful sister in law. We spent the night there in Rocklin and decided to do the same spilt up/caravan with the J&T Wheeler family. We knew this was going to delay us a bit- but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to extend our time with family and friends. Ken and I found ourselves together again in Winnemucca Nevada at 7PM on Monday night. We decided that we would be sensible, and if needed, we would stop and get a room at one of the many cheap hotels/casinos in Northern Nevada. We arrived home safely at 2 am on Tuesday morning- completely worth it! The baby woke up at 6:30 am on Tuesday, he was fed and put back into bed, he slept until almost 11! I slept until 10! AMAZING!


Here are some pictures. Stories from the trip will come later in the week- after I unpack.





To help the baby feel at home on our trip, we surrounded him with comforting items from home.

The baby helped Ken "Work!" while on Vacation. Silly Ken.

The baby spent plenty of time with Grandma Wheeler. Grandma Magic gave his parents a few nights of good sleep. "Grandma, what furry feet you have"The older boys found a Toad at the Lake.

We asked the baby if he wanted to go on another trip anytime soon-

this was his answer.
