A Week With My Sister

I always look forward to hanging out with my sister Megan.  We usually try to plan at least one mini vacation together in the summer.  This year my sister Megan came to my home on July 18th.  The first day we visited with each other and hung out at home... swimming and playing.  I had to take them to my favorite yogurt spot, Tutti Frutti.

On Tuesday we used our season passes and went to Hurricane Harbor
Kalena, Morgan, Mason, Kaleb, Lizzy, and Hannah.  Noah was away on a river rafting trip with a church group, which meant I had one week to leave town.  Usually Noah works everyday, but Sunday so I have to give him a ride to work which means I have to stay close to home.

On Wednesday we used our season passes and went to Magic Mountain.

On Wednesday night we stayed in a hotel in Valencia.  On Thursday we drove to Manhattan Beach.


 It was overcast all day, but we still had fun

Thursday evening we headed to the Colorado River to my parents second home.


Friday morning Lizzy, Kalena, and Hannah enjoying the refreshing cold water.  When it's over 100 degrees outside, you have to stay in the water all day to keep cool.


 Kaleb


 Since dad was working in Needles over the summer.  He was able to come and hang out with us for the day. Kaleb and dad getting ready to go jet skiing.


Friday evening my brother in law Chris surprised my sister Megan with having us all meet for sushi and a show in Las Vegas.  It was so much fun to keep her guessing on what show we were going to see. We ended up seeing Carrot Top at the Luxor hotel. 

 
After the show we went to the Las Vegas sign to take some pictures.

Friday night we drove back to the Colorado River and Saturday we were able to enjoy another day on the water. I just love these sweet pictures of my niece Sophia.

 Kaleb looks likes he is really concentrating

We had a fun filled week! So glad we had the opportunity to share it with those we love.
