I'm back! Summer has arrived and unforunately the Farrell-Landers family has been keeping busy. Therefore, I have not been diligent updating the blog. I had a few moments so I wanted to update you on our summer adventures. So, here is a brief recap of our first family road trip ...
Our summer officially began with a weekend trip to California for Memorial Day. It was a wonderful way to escape the Arizona sun and visit with family and friends. For Madi's first road trip ever, she did remarkably well. She mostly slept the entire way, occasionally, waking up to admire the toys that Josh and I had strewn around her car seat. We didn't want her to get bored. The adventure began with a brief stop-over in Yuma, AZ, as I had to assist with a client's benefit enrollment meetings. Luckily, the meetings concluded mid-afternoon and we were able to get back on the road earlier than expected. Many thanks to GG and GP for welcoming this rowdy clan into their home for the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the time with them.
The weekend also granted us the opportunity to picnic with my sorority sisters and their families. It was beautiful Saturday afternoon in Whittier. We played games, chased kids around the playground, bbq'd, gossiped and reminisced. I cannot believe how fast all of our kiddos are growing. I really wished that we all lived closer so we could picnic more often. What a fun day!
We spent our last day of our trip visiting with more family. We traveled up to Ventura County to visit with the Reismans, Vorobriofs, Alisha, GG and GP. Brunch was delicious, a couple of games of bingo were played and tons of Madi time was had by all.
Take a look at some of the photos from this trip.
