California Vacation

So of course the kids and I had to make a trip out to California to see my family and unfortunately Dave had to work so I took the kids and his little sister Holly and we jumped in the car and drove out. My sister actually flew out to drive with me so that was fun. We stayed for about 10 days and went to Huntington Beach, Lake Mojave, rode horses and hung out with family. Aubrey is getting so good at riding it's amazing to see her little body on a horse and how good she is. She almost got bucked off but she did awesome and just did what she was suppose to and hung on tight and was eager to gallop again and did fine. Her instructor was another story she was a wreck. I think she forgets that Aubrey is almost 8 even though she is still small and thinks of her as a 4 or 5 year old still. Anyway she did great and Holly got pretty good as well. Boyd rode with me a few times and let me tell you its been a long time since I rode and I was so sore for a few days it was just pathetic I only rode for maybe ten minutes at most.

I love going home and being with my family no matter how long or short my visit gets to be. Aubrey and Boyd live being with their meme and pepe too and I'm so lucky to have the family I have and be so close with all of them. It was crazy to think that just a week after this trip I had to fly back for my dad's heart surgery and thinking that these might be the last memories my kids would have of him destroyed me! Thankfully there will be many more to come.

Me and my neice Madison I love this girl she's so precious!!
