A few days ago me mom Natalie and Paige (nightmare) went to California.It was so much fun. It all started at the airport. We were hopefully prepared for a five hour flight with you guessed it Paige! (DUH DUH DUN) The flight was nice despite the screaming nonstop she never fell asleep. When we got there my grandpa greeted us there. I was so happy to see him! Then he told us the secret activity that we were gonna do on Tuesday! (we arrived on Monday) It was.................. horse back riding!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited. So it was a long ride to Yuba City but we dropped mom off at grandma's house and me and Bird went to grandpa's house. When we got there we went straight to bed and the next morning we went golfing and we thought the golf cart was the best part (WARNING golf is not that easy i learned that the hard way.) After golf we went up north and we went horse back riding. We started out learning about horses and horse safety. Then it was time to get on the horse. Our horse was named Troy. He is the gentlest horse and the trainer thought I was really good. I just started. She told us that we were gonna have a barrel race with 1st and 2nd place ribbons. Watch out Natalie, I'm gonna win hahahahahah.
After horse back riding we went back to grandpas place and we just relaxed. We had macaroni for dinner and of course Natalie had mustard on every thing (gross). The next day we went to grandmas house and we painted the fence. Natalie for some crazy reason went in the 55 degree pool. Grandma got us these little books that had a bunch of doodling things. At bedtime we went back to grandpa's.
The next day we went to grandpa's work and it was really fun. Grandpas friend brought her 2 dogs. After work we went back to horse back riding with mom and she saw how good we were. We had a tie for the barrel race and we both got 1st place ribbons. We had dinner with grandpa and mom.
The next day was Friday. We went to grandpa's work again then we drove into Sacramento to the Imax theater to see Born To Be Wild. It was a really cute movie. Then since mom and grandma were running late we went mini golfing and i won! Grandpa came in 2nd and Natalie came in 3rd. We arrived back at grandpa's house and mom picked us up to go to grandma's house. When we got there we had a nice BBQ dinner then ran around the backyard a bit then fell asleep.
Saturday started as a normal day. We ate breakfast the watched TV. Then went to IN AND OUT BURGER!!! the best burger place in CA. After a wonderful meal we went to Michael's to get some egg stuff and then our ride broke down. We made the best of it and went into Petsmart and it was so cool and creepy with the spiders and well you get the point finally the car was ready so we went to grandma's place and dyed eggs. We wrote "sucker" and "fool" and "loser" on the real eggs because they have no candy! We went to this big Easter egg hunt for the whole county and trust me there was some CRAZY fashion. We got a bit of candy but keep in mind over 2000 people showed up so we went home bushed.
The next morning was Easter and we did our whole Easter egg hunt then got dolled up to go to church and saw old friends and then we went back home to prepare for a big Easter egg hunt and an Easter dinner. Before everyone arrived for dinner, we visited Christian in the hospital. He had been in a motorcycle accident the day before. We took him his own Easter basket. The dinner was very good and then it was hunting time. If you got a hard boiled egg you got a big prize and I luckily got one! I won some Reece's peanut butter eggs.
Monday our vacation was coming to an end but we went to Wacky Tacky which was a big indoor play area and Nerf area. It was SO much fun! I can't wait to go back with Ryan! After we played hard we went out to frozen yogurt. That evening we had to say our final goodbyes to grandpa.
On Tuesday we went to my mom's friend's house in the Bay Area. We had a blast with bubbles and two little ones to keep us busy. We went to the airport at around 9:00pm and the line was really long, I mean super long. Paige started freaking out so mom had to go outside and me and Natalie had to carry 3 suitcases, 1 car seat, and 1 stroller and no one helped us, just the rude lady who said, "hurry up!" (wow how rude!!!) People were mad also because the flight to New York was canceled but finally we got through and we were on our way. We arrived in home sweet home, Virginia, at 7:00am. We were tired and hungry we finally drove home ending a wonderful vacation.
California I miss you.
