So, here is a long post about a long weekend. Our kids had a Friday off of school in early Oct. Being the fantastic parents that we are (wink, wink), we made plans to head down south. We had so many great reasons: Lloyd had to meet with his DMin. group, we could visit with family, Anika could go to San Juan Capistrano for her 4th grade CA Mission project, . . . However, the best laid plan often end in upheaval. We had a member of our church die and so Lloyd had a funeral scheduled smack dab in the middle of our "vacation". Because we had so many great reasons for going south, we also had no way to get out of them;-) My poor husband drove to 6 hours on Thurs, turned around and drove 6 hours on Friday. Then 6 hours back on Sat. and 6 hours home on Sunday. Long story short, it was not a vacation for Daddy - and I think in hindsight we would do things differently.
However, the rest of us had a great time. We went to see the mission and learned a lot. We went to a petting zoo and the kids were able to ride a horse (BIG wish-come-true for Anika). We took Chloe to Huntington Beach and the kids got SOAKED. We spent time with family and I conquered my fear of driving in southern California (kind of.)

We went to SoCal for our long weekend too! Can't believe Lloyd did that drive 4 times in a matter of days!!! Once was enough for us!
And when did you get the time to read Allegient so quickly? While you were sitting in LA traffic? :)
