California Dreamin'

Last weekend we DROVE to Santa Clara for the 4th of July and my Grandmother's 75th birthday. It was a long drive... we left Thursday night after work and drove ALL night! We got to my Grandma's house around 7:30am and didn't even get a chance to sleep! My little brother and sister were so excited that we were there... well they may have been more excited since we brought Bellatrix.

While we were there we spent a lot of time with Benson and Jasmi (little brother and sister). We saw Kung-fu Panda AND Wall-E (we snuck Bellatrix in too!) We watched fireworks at Santa Clara Central Park and went to Chinatown. Sunday night was the celebration of Grandma's birthday so we had a Vegan dinner (she is vegan) with all of the family. It was pretty low key but good to see everyone and catch up .We hadn't all been together since Michael and I's wedding.

It was sad to say good bye to Benson and Jasmi (and of course my dad) but I am hoping we will get up to Boise again this summer to spend more time with them. The drive back was dreadful too... I don't think I will ever drive that far again. BUT.... the Pruis did well and we got about 47 MPG on the whole trip so we saved a lot of money.

Sorry there are so many pictures!

Happy 4th of July!

Benson had to use the restroom really bad at the park... and there was no restroom near by!

Do we look like sisters?

Yeah, I don't know.
