Today we were invited for dinner at John and Clair Lorenzo's house. Steve worked with John when we lived here and they became very close friends. We had a wonderful meal and John showed Chase how to play the guitar! Later this week John and Claire are going to take Chase to Disneyland!

Every morning we are getting into a routine where the kids watch Dora the Explorer. Then we go for an outing. Today we went to a petting zoo where they got to see all the farm animals and get a pony ride. Then we came home and took a bath...

Today Kris and I took the kids to Legoland. They rode some rides, played in the tree house, played in mini town, splashed around in some water, and then passed out on the way home!

Today we hit our final destination, San Clemente, CA. The drive from Las Vegas was easy and we got into town in 4.5 hours. Kris and I took the kids to the beach for the afternoon and Chase had fun getting soaked in the water!

We headed to Vegas for a 5 hour trip through beautiful country! There was Arizona's Joshua Tree state park on our trip that was really unique (photo of the weird trees). Then we went through the Hoover Dam. They are building a bridge to bypass it (6th photo) but it is not ready so we had to take a couple of hours to get through the dam portion. They stopped me before I got there and checked my vehicle because it had a lot of stuff in it, they wanted to be sure I wasn't hiding a bomb. Then we visited Uncle Troy. Chase and Troy had a great time swimming with Hailey and Jaden. We had a nice time visiting!

In Phoenix I visited with my friends Bennie and Chantil Martinez. They have kids named Gavin and Alliyah. The kids had a blast together and we all enjoyed having some family time for a couple of days. We also had an adult night and went out for Sushi with Carrie and John Lahr.

Day three, we stayed the night at a hotel in Canyon De Chelly and spent the morning looking at the sites. We drove to Sedona in the afternoon and had a hotel with a beautiful view and a nice pool. We head to Phoenix in the morning!
