Our first week in CA, Rebecca and (our friend) Joelle spent every day at Fusion Dance Studio in Torrance. They worked hard learning routines in ballet, jazz, modern, musical theater, and hip hop. The instructors were awesome and the girls had a really great time.
Before the first week ended, we decided to go see "Wicked" at the Pantages theater in LA. Joelle had never seen a musical before and so we thought this would be a great first time experience. We loved Wicked when Chad and I took the girls and saw it last year, and this year it was equally impressive. The cast may have changed, but the talent and energy of the performers remained the same. If you haven't had the chance to see Wicked, I highly recommend it. (Get seats on the floor. . . it's worth every penny)
Week two we went to Legoland twice and hung out at Grandmas. (Grandma took pictures at Legoland, so I don't have those yet.) We had a lot of fun back to school shopping, going to the pool and just relaxing. I was able to visit with my friend Brynne which is always a treat and get to know Rich's new wife Rachel a lot better. She's a great girl and Joey (when looking over all our pictures from the trip) kept pointing out Rachel. Rach you definitely made an impression. Thanks again for coming with us to Legoland the second time around.
On Saturday after crazy plane mishaps, Chad arrived and we were able to spend Sunday together before leaving for Lake Nacimiento on Monday morning. Our family has grown so much over the past few years that we needed to rent an extra RV trailer for our family to sleep in.
We had a blast at the lake with everyone. It has been a tradition to go to Lake Nacimiento with my Uncle Dave and Aunt Wendy for years now. It doesn't happen every year, but it is always a treat when we can go. Between all the kids, cousins and grandkids, everyone has a friend. Ohh, and don't forget Nick. I think we adopted him into our family awhile back and he is always fun to have around too.
After wake boarding, knee boarding, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and playing, we packed up the van and began the 17 1/2 hour drive back to Clovis. We were sore and sunburnt but smiling. What a great way to end our summer vacation.
