CA
The trip to California was really great! It was so nice to have so many of my family members there.
Grandma is doing pretty good at the assisted living place but I wish we
could be closer so we could visit her more. The place is a nice place
and she does have a lot of friends...but it would be so much better if
we could be there for her more. Everyone was saying we should take her
to live in ID with us but I don't know if that will happen or not.
Aside from that, here is a draft of the trip.
We left here at about 10:30 and had a rather nice trip to CA and arived
at around 7:30 (6:30 CA time) and went strait to grandma's place
to visit her. After visiting her we went home and unpacked. We were all
real hungry so Me, Anna and Dad went to town to find something to eat.
We had told everyone that we were going to get chinese food but ended
up going to winco and getting some misc food...it was good but not what
everyone expected ;)
The next day Anna, Rebecca and me went shopping but most of the stores
were closed untill 10:00 so we went to macy's then we went to grandma's
and sang for her and some old people.
We brang grandma to her old house(the one we were staying in) and
visited with her for a while. We took her to her place and she took a
nap then later me and Mary went to see her and say goodnight. She was
kinda worried about us being out "in the middle of the night" (it was
about 8:00) so we read her a psaml and assured her we were fine and we
would give her a call when we got home. As we were headed home we made
a couple wrong tunrs and almost went to portland! lol, it was pretty
funny I guess grandma was right to be worried ;)
That night I had a terrible headache and started having one of my
"spells" but I quickly layed down on the couch and it wasn't too bad.
It was kinda scary(like always) but I prayed and used a HC zapper and
was able to get to sleep and the next day I was fine.
On saturday I woke up, got a shower and got ready for my cousins
wedding reception. We got there around 1:00 and were greted by many
relatives. It was at a chinese resteront so we had some really awesome
food! And a TON of it, at that! lol. I ate sooo much...its a wonder I'm
not fat (yet) :D
After we ate everyone headed to the harpers(uncle John and aunt Mary)
for dessert and music. I was still feeling week from that episode the
night before and I didn't feel much like singing so I just listening
outside the door while my siblings sang. Some of the other peoples
music was a bit rocky and loud but it was mostly old rock songs so it
was ok...and there was also some chirstain songs which were nice :)
That night at home we discussed driving plans and etc. It was decided I
was to go home with Mary, Luke and Anna in the early morning in the
rental car and everyone else at 10:00 in the van. I slept kinda odd
that night(streched between two lazy chairs and switched a couple times
between the floor and that) so i felt sleepy half the way home. We did
get some coffee at "Dutch brothers" but I don't think it worked on
me(it usually doesn't) but it tasted good!
It was actually not a bad drive except the last 30 minutes I got kinda
anxious but occupied myself with some chewing gum...great fun! Hehe :P
When we pulled up to our house I was so happy to be home! Our house never looked so good ;)
