This weekend my sister, Becca, and her family came to visit! Her son, Mason, is the same age as Allie. He is the only cousin that is one of my children's ages, so his visit was well anticipated, as well as the twins, who are only 2 years younger than Gabe. As soon as the cousins arrived, the group began playing. We even had a hard time getting them to come to meals!
On Sunday, in between mission farewells and celebrations for our 2nd cousins, we went down to Hollywood. My sister, Krissy, and her family also joined us. We walked along the Hollywood Boulevard and saw the stars on the sidewalk. We went to Grumann's Chinese theater and saw the handprints and the footprints. Our favorites were Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars. We loved seeing all the characters along the sidewalk, spiderman, wolfman, Darth Vader, Mickey Mouse, Capitan Jack Sparrow, and Shrek.
Monday was spent on the beach. It was such a gorgeous day, I was
expecting enormous crowds, but it wasn't very crowded at all. It was a
very pleasant day at the beach. The water was a little chilly, but that
didn't stop the kids! They boogie boarded in the water, then came back
on the sand to dry out. They buried each other in the sand and made
sand castles. Someone told them that seaweed was used in ice cream. So
they spent a fair amount of time collecting seaweed in anticipation of a
cool dessert. They were very disappointed when we informed them the
seaweed would NOT be going home with us! We had a great visit with our family, and hope that they will come again soon.
