Here We Come!

On Tuesday we began the long trek to California.  A family vacation that doesn't include a motocross track!  How very exciting!  We are in California visiting Garth's cousin Cari.  The main purpose of our trip is to do a LAYERS party for Cari.  She did a Pampered Chef party for me last year and I told her I would come and do a LAYERS one for her!  She is my very best customer.  Great excuse for a party.  Anyway, we loaded up the van, and we were on our way.  The girls were awesome!  They each did such a great job - even Camryn.  Tomorrow we are headed to the beach.  This is the one spot the girls are most excited for.  I'll let you know how that goes.  I joked with the girls, telling them that we wouldn't be able to go to the beach because they closed it - it was being drained and they were working on it.  Taylor said I was just joking, but later asked me if I was joking, just to make sure.  I think she was a little worried.  Garth went golfing today wit his Uncle Robert and a friend of Pat's (Cari's husband).  He said it was frustrating at first, but as the day went on, he got a bit better and was able to enjoy himself a bit more.  Golf isn't quite his thing, but he is definitely open to giving it a try.

We are having a great time.  It is so nice to take a break from all the crazy things of everyday life.  This vacation is much needed, but as soon as we get home, it's back to business.  I have a competition and performance on Saturday to make sure my classes are ready for.  Crazy stuff.  But I guess that's life.  If I'm not busy, I'm bored.
