California

Before Evelyn was born Grandma & Grandpa Baxter said they'd fly us down to sunny Long Beach to meet the baby so that's what we did the weekend of March 12-14. We got in Friday afternoon after a great flight with Evelyn. Friday we had a good time catching up and watching VERY old family videos and playing with the baby, of course.

We stayed with our good friends, the Winns, in the trailer in the backyard which was great! We had our own space and didn't have to pay for a hotel! Thanks Winns!

Saturday Caleb and I got ninja turtle ice cream things from the ice cream man. Yes, in March. It was a gorgeous weekend!

Saturday night was spent with Uncles, Aunts, Cousins & pizza. Nothing better than that!

It was so much fun to see the family since most of them I haven't seen since Caleb & I were married.

Sunday morning was Daylight savings and our flight was supposed to leave at 7:20 am. We got up and finished packing at 4:30 am, ate breakfast at Grandma & Grandpa's then headed to the airport. We got there a little early and what happened, you ask? The flight was delayed an hour! It wasn't too bad, but it would've been nice to sleep in a little.

Evelyn did great on the flight again but I wasn't feeling so good because of turbulence. It was freezing in Utah and on the way out to the car Evelyn decided to explode her diaper. I felt bad. It was so cold outside she was holding her breath so I wanted to get her in the car and be on our way so we went straight from the airport to my parents house to bathe her and get a nap.

Thanks Mom & Dad for helping with the babe while we took naps! Evelyn also had a long nap with Grandpa and was in a pretty good mood. Here are a few pics!

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for the great trip! It was a great weekend!
