Spring Break in Cali

It was so nice to have a whole week just to enjoy our family and time together. We were able to see so many family members and friends, it was perfect! Jon was also able to shadow three different types of dentists; an Orthodontist, General and Pediatric Dentist. He really enjoyed each experience and the time each one of them took to really talk with him and teach him about their journey and their business!

A few very unfortunate things happened while we were down visiting as well. My Grandma Connie fell and broke her hip in two places and had to get an artificial hip, joint and a metal rod down her femer. She had an amazing surgeon and is finally getting some relief. I feel so bad for the pain she went though. My Papa is wonderful and has been by her side the entire time. With that, Jon's little brother David was admitted into the hospital multiple times with pancreatitis. He just hated being there and not being able to eat or drink anything. We are all hoping they both recovery quickly!!!

Here area few fun things we did on our trip:

First we went to the LA Zoo with Jerry and Ava. That zoo is BIG. We got shuttle tickets and still did not get to see everything!










The snake neck turtles
My little STUD!!!

Eli was a trooper the whole time until he crashed at the very end!

Next up was Chuck-E-Cheses with Nana and Papa



This was Eli's favorite game! He would even watch people put their token in and wait for the balls to roll down and then run over to play with them! We had to snatch him up ... we played this the most by far!


Finally I got to see Desiree and her new twin babies Ethan and Ellie! They were so cute! I don't know how Desiree and Brian do it but they are amazing!!



And Eli helped the boys wash the cars while Christine and I soaked up the beautiful California sun!
