California

We headed to California for Thanksgiving.

Tyler wanted to get his picture taken by this big bear in the airport. (Megan, Emily, Bear, Tyler)



Unfortunately Megan got sick the night we arrived at Darrell's mom's house.  This is how she spent the first one and a half days we were there.  (Darrell also got sick and laid low for a few days.)



So just Carol, Tyler, Emily and I went to visit Darrell's grandma Nellie at the care center.



We also walked to the store while Megan rested.  Tyler found this huge palm tree branch.



Since I took a picture of Tyler, Emily wanted a picture too.



Emily and Tyler got to ride on the little car ride.





When Megan was feeling better we headed to the park.  It was 86* and quite warm (especially for us "northerners."

Some great shots with Grandma and the kiddos.

We took advantage of the beautiful weather to play outside.

Tyler and Grandma playing football.



Apparently we have a Dolly-Parton wannabe.  Megan thought sticking balls in her shirt was pretty funny.

The day after Thanksgiving we went to the movie "The Penguins of Madagascar."

The kids loved the fountains outside of the theater.

We also got to eat at In 'n' Out.  I know they have them where we eat, but it's always a treat (except Megan's tummy still wasn't up to eating much.)



Where else besides sunny California can you find Christmas trees and palm trees?
