Old Mine Ranch...

Today we went to The Old Mine Ranch with our friends, The Crane's. Payson and Hallie really enjoyed riding a horse, jumping in the moon bounce, going on a train ride and also getting to pet and feed all the animals. Enjoy the pictures.

California 2010...

Last week, Paul had a conference in San Diego for work. So, the boys and I went with him so we could visit family. Our plane ride there was the longest 5 hours of our life. Payson was worse than we ever could imagine him being. The airline was nice enough to give us all six seats in a back row, but I think that only made things worse because Payson thought he could move wherever he wanted to. The day after we arrived in L.A., we met up with my mom and sister and visited San Diego Zoo's Safari Park where many zoo animals are bred. The next day we all went to the San Diego Zoo. The boys did great traveling, constantly being on the go and sleeping in hotels. I was nervous because Payson hasn't slept away from home since he started sleeping through the night, so I had no idea how he would do. He did awesome sleeping in our hotel rooms and in his cousins bedroom. Monday, the boys and I headed back up to L.A., leaving Paul behind to attend his conference. The boys and I spent the whole week at my brothers house playing with their cousin. Tuesday, we went to the L.A. County Fair and later met up with my old friend, Carla, and her two girls for dinner. Thursday, we attempted to get professional pictures taken of all the cousins, but my boys didn't cooperate at all. With all the pictures I take, you would think they would be used to photo shoots. That night, I met up with old friends Kim, Lisa, Richard and Taylor. I was so excited for them to meet my babies. Paul finally rejoined us Friday, after taking an Amtrak train back up to L.A. The plane ride home went a lot smoother but only because Payson had a fever and just wanted to lay and snuggle with us. Yesterday, I took him to the doctor, and he has a double ear infection, which is what I suspected was the case. We are thankful for a safe trip and do not plan on getting on a plane anytime soon.
