We were so happy in April to have family visit! My mom, dad, and 3 youngest siblings came to visit during their Spring Break. We had perfect weather and lots of fun. We let our kids play hooky from school for a day or two while we shopped, played basketball, visited our favorite local places, and just relaxed.
And we are off! We rented a 13 passenger van so all 10 of us could ride together to visit San Fransisco for the day. We had so much fun! We squished everything into one day, but we managed to eat lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, laugh at the seals, enjoy chocolate at Ghiradelli's Square, ride a cable car to Union Square, be amused by countless street entertainers, and even see the Golden Gate Bridge across the bay. We didn't get home until close to midnight, but it was WELL worth it! Such fun memories! 
Jaren has no idea who Forrest Gump is, but he really enjoyed stepping into his shoes outside of Bubba Gump's restaurant. We were super lucky to get the best window seat at the restaurant, and because it was a clear sunny day, we had an amazing view of the entire bay.
I love this picture of Kenna looking out at the big ships in the bay.
Of course we had to stop at the Jelly Belly Factory. Nana and Papa told all the kids they could fill their bags with whatever kind of candy they wanted. My kids took it very seriously--they didn't mess around finding just the perfect blend of candy. It is insane the variety of candy that is in that factory! Who knew that Jelly Belly makes delicious chocolate-- I got addicted to their malt balls! Anyway, enough of the candy... the week was fantastic and so was the company!
