Trip to Redding!

For spring break, we decided to go and visit my sis and her hubby and kids in Redding Cali. It was very needed for all of us from the monotony and stress of everything. It was awesome! First, the drive down to Vegas wasn't too bad! We got to the airport and let me tell you, such a difference from our first trip to family, mo's sis. I swear I packed anything and everything for every situation.......for three people, we had like six bags. This time I packed one suitcase and had two carry ons for four people! It wasn't easy,but I did it! I don't want to brag but I feel pretty proud about it! Here's what I packed, now picture three times as much! (go ahead and laugh out loud, 'cuz for some reason we found it hillarious)

The plane ride started out a little scary. we did infant in arms, hoping to have an extra seat........don't worry, I had a seat window with a big guy next to me. There's no way for savanna to handle not moving........I felt so bad for the guy next to us..........but luckily it wasn't a full flight,s o we went into the back where no one was and could give savanna some space. I didn't have to use a movie 'til the very end for like five minutes. This is a big deal, 'cuz savanna can only handle sitting for long periods of time if she's being entertained.....usually a movie, and so far, we hadn't had to use it

WE got to Stockton Cali.(cheap cheap flights) where my sis. picked us up, we went to the park and then headed up to Stockton(2 1/2 hour drive) There we used suckers and movies. It worked out pretty well. We arrived at their place and it was awesome! It was 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and a bigroom, kichen and 1/2 bathroom downstairs with two car garage and small back yard! It was beautiful! Wondering what they are doing?! They discovered that you can use mesh netting hampers for more things than just putting clothes in them......wear them and run around chasing each other(under parental supervision of course)

The next day we went on a hike to this really cool waterfall! It was easy for the kids and absolutely beautiful! I'm used to people saying a waterfall and meaning like a trickle of water falling........but this was huge! We went past a lake to get there..........it was beautiful........tons of trees and mountains everywhere!

In the afternoon we went to the park: Kids Kingdom.........k- it was the coolest playground I have ever been. All these passageways, secret passage ways, slides, swings, sand boxes, bridges, monkey bars.....I wanted to play on(and I did). They have water part too for when it is warm! The kids loved it!

The next day we went and walked the Sundial bridge and on some trails. It was really cool to see! Then we went and saw the Field of Dreams...........it's some soccer fields and baseball fields..........but like the coolest you've ever seen. They made it like you were in the New York Yankee stadium and others like it! For kids! If I were playing in the field I'd seriously feel like big money playing! It was so cool! We had to go to the mall...........so much nicer than our mall at home...I got some really cute red high heels and a hat! The kids played on an indoor playground.

The next day, we traveled back to the airport and then home. WE finished the trip off with pizza and a movie "August Rush" K- I thought that that was such a good movie! I loved loved loved it! If you haven't seen it and love music, I'd recommend it! We had a blast, I enjoyed being with my sis. and Savanna was so cute with Lucas. She'll be so bored with me this next week. Now, we need to go visit our other siblings soon! I think savanna is all tripped out though!
