Sister Vacation!

Ben is awesome and watched the two girls while I went on vacation with two of my sisters. (My other two sisters, Jenn and Sharon, were very missed!) Marjory, Mandy, and I drove to Placentia, CA to stay with my grandparents. It was the first time I left both of the girls for a week (I did cry a little bit when I left). We had so much fun and it was great to be able to spend time together. We got a little lost on all those California freeways; we relaxed at the beach; enjoyed Disneyland and California Adventure; visited the fancy stores at Rodeo Dr; went to Hollywood and the Chinese theater; went mini-golfing; and played Skip-Bo every night. Marjory even put up with me and Mandy's picture taking madness. It was really nice to visit with my grandparents and spend time with them.

It was a nice break away from everyday life, but I am glad to be back home with Ben, Addi, and Cam. The girls had a blast with Ben and Grandpa Singley while I was gone. They got to watch lots of movies, stay dirty, and go on long bike rides.

As you can see, between my sister and I, we took a ton of pictures. If you want to look at the rest of the pictures you can click on the link to see them.

Looks like you guys had a great time! Next time I think you should invite sister-in-laws too! :) Why did you get the 3rd rental car?

We got the third rental car, because the check engine light turned on in the second rental car. And my sisters didn't want to drive around with it on.
