I'm Back...

WOW! How busy we have been since we returned from California last Monday night. Our flights to and from California were great (and I'm NOT a big airplane fan). We have been on GO ever since we got home. Came home to jet lag, tons of laundry, grocery shopping, doctor appointments, LAKE time with the girls, and the list goes on and on. Michael came home to having to go to work early the next morning, and has not had a break since.

California trip: It was AM A Z I N G! The weather was perfect. NO humidity. I could live there. The Arkansas folks were complaining about being cold...nope NOT me! Following are pictures in random order! We had a very busy six days on our FBLA trip...but between the FBLA meetings, testing, and functions, we were able to get some sight seeing in. Even got in on the death of Michael Jackson hoop la! We did Disneyland, (rode Tower of Terror 3 times....my favorite ride), Knott's Berry Farm, Beach tour (saw Huntington, Newport and Laguna beach), and a tour of the city.
Michael did NOT place in the top 10 in his personal finance test. :( We were sad about this but so excited that he was able to compete at a national level. Congratulations son! I am proud of you and enjoyed our time together!

Michael Jackson's star ..not a great picture, but with all the people was happy to get this.

Clouds out of the plane. Wish I could float on them.

Hope the pictures weren't too boring. I only took 344 pictures! Aren't you glad I didn't post alot more! Hope everyone's 4th was good. We had alot of family time on the lake. Bought a new tube, so got good use out of that. Also had girls night out on the 3rd...dinner at the 178 Club and then to the movie to see The Proposal. I saw it while in California also..........it is adorable!!!!
