California - a couple months late

WE WENT TO SO-CAL!

YAY!!!
We stayed the first night in St. George and Benjamin's first matter of business was to break in the bed!
What a beautiful site!
We left the coldness of Logan to 80 degree weather in Hemet, CA!
We stayed with my brother and sister-in-law -Dustin and Melanie and we did some really fun stuff. Benjamin was SO happy to go the this train place...although the tour was a little long.

COUSINS! Benjamin had so much fun with Damen!

Anything having to do with trains Benjamin goes NUTS over!
After a long day of playing, Benjamin was ready to eat...and so were we!

My FAVORITE place to eat is Pat & Oscar's! As a missionary when me and my companion were tracting, we would stop off at P&O's just to get a breadstick. Seriously the best bread sticks EVER...hands down!

Take a picture mom...I'm a fish!
We went to Palm Springs - the Living Desert. It's true, we we hung with the movie stars in Palm Springs. We're pretty cool like that...at least we like to pretend. We also hung out with all the old leathery people too - they've had WAY too much sun - YIKES!

Cousins, riding on the wart hog.

A family wart hog ride. It's fake...don't worry.

These two were hard core - riding the big lizard.

Cousins on the camel.
And, YES...we went to the BEACH. Enjoy the pictures of the Oceanside beach. It was so nice for Josh and I to be back in the place where we served our missions!
Love this action shot of Damen!
Oceanside Pier! I tracted that pier on the 4th of July, 2002.
Benjamin's action shot.
Basking in the sun...he was born for the beach!












Got dressed, and went to the pier.




YUM! GREAT food - it helped that we were starving. This is a restaurant at the end of the Oceanside pier - I highly recommend it!
As we left Hemet we passed the Scientology HQ. Very interesting.


I know...that was long, but it was mostly pictures - that's gotta count for something, right?
