The OC!

We had a blast this last weekend in the OC! The boys got to play with their cousins, we got to spend time in the sun, and we visited Trey Talley down in Mission Viejo!

Check out what we squeezed into this past weekend! On Saturday, we took the boys to a mausoleum to visit my grandma's gravesight. Have you ever been to a mausoleum? They are very cool - I think that's where I want to be buried. It's a huge building and you get put into the walls. The one she is in has three floors, each floor is about 100 yards long and 50 yards wide and has about 5 rows of tombs. It's very bright and peaceful. On my grandma's site, they have her picture and we put flowers. It was very cool.

Then we ate lunch using stuff from my mom's garden. She has an awesome garden... corn on the cob, tomatoes, green beans, all kinds of peppers, cucumbers, squash, fruit. My grandpa has a green thumb. So we had a cool lunch and then took off to my brother's place in Newport Beach. We walked on the pier and got ice cream. Later we ate at the restaurant my brother manages. The cost for 8 of us to have dinner... $260.00 before the tip)! Luckily, my brother gets a killer discount and it actually costed us alot less! We spent the night at his hotel (right on the beach) and the boys stayed over at his place (right behind the hotel). So it was cool but we didn't get to bed until super late.

Then on Sunday we went to church down in Mission Viejo to visit Trey and Bobbie's sister Christy and brother-in-law Kristiano. The preacher preached a good lesson about legalism and how we get wrapped up in it... something we could all hear! He even told the Youth Group that the adult were "working on it" and to be patient! Then, we went to lunch with them (yes, I had Panda Express - Orange Chicken). Then we went to my dad's house in Anaheim. Bobbie went to the movies with my brother's wife Marcella and my stepmom Jenny. They had a "women's day" and went shopping too. The "boys" all stayed back with the kids and played video games and went to the park to play kickball. It was really fun. Finally, we left about 9:30pm to head back up the 'Poc! We got home about 12:15am and got to bed about 1:00am. So, that was our weekend in the OC! We had fun but I couldn't do it every week! :)

How was your weekend??
