Us at Wicked (Sorry Aaron--I don't have a better pic.)





Last Thursday we drove to LA to visit my brother. My mom flew down from Idaho & Aaron's girlfriend flew in from Missouri so we could meet her. We stayed until Monday and had so much fun. Thursday night we went to Wicked---loved it! (Thanks Kaelub for watching Eli so the rest of us could go. :) You're the best.) I already want to see it again. Friday we spent the morning in Hollywood & then drove to Santa Monica. It was a little windy & cloudy, but we still stuck our feet in the ocean. We ate at Bubba's on the pier and then walked around the shops. I convinced everyone that we had to stop and try some Pinkberry frozen yogurt and they were all glad I suggested it. It was delicious! Saturday we spent the whole day at Six Flags and my mom was so great to watch Eli while we went on the rides. I hadn't been on a roller coaster in a few years so I wasn't sure if I would still like them, but it was a lot of fun. Kaelub and I waited in line for a ride called De Ja Vu and when we finally got to the front of the line, Kaelub found out he was too tall to ride it. I had never known you could be too tall for a ride, so I had to go by myself, and it was one of the craziest rides there! We did get a pass to go to the front of the line on another ride though, since we had waited all that time and Kaelub couldn't ride. My mom & I took Eli on a few mild rides like the train & carousel. We caught the morning session of conference on Sunday and then drove down to Huntington Beach. The weather was so nice--sunny but not too hot. We had such a great time & were sad to say goodbye to everyone. Thanks mom for taking us on such a fun trip---we love & miss you!
