Tuesday March 30, 2021 - Covid Tests and Sapwi Bike Park

Here they are.  The kids Covid tests all done!!! What a pain!!!   I got up early and called New York to see if we could use these tests for the kids.  I explained that the lady last night couldn't do their tests because they were all connected to my email.  The lady told me that it was no problem that the kids were on my email and that the lady last night should have been able to figure it out.  OOffff.  Oh man. So you are telling me that the kids could have done their tests last night??   And that now we are on this huge time crunch to make sure we get their results on time??  Oh man.  So at 8 AM this morning, the kids did their tests and I took them immediately to the UPS place to be shipped over night. Now we have to wait and pray that we get the kids tests back on time.  I feel confident that it will be ok but it's still very unsettling.  

Monday March 29, 2021 - Beach, Covid Tests and More Fun!!!!

Zuma Beach!!

Sunday March 28, 2021 - Church at our Home Ward in Simi Valley!!! Friends and Family!!

This was the best shot I could get today of us at church.  Hahahaha.  We felt so blessed to be back in our home ward.  Our Ward Family is the best.  Everyone welcomed us back with warm hugs and lots of questions;). The boys blessed and passed the Sacrament and caught up with their buddies.  Everyone commented on how tall my kids have gotten.  It's true, they are all so tall now.  

Saturday March 27, 2021 - Back In the Hood!!!!

Today was so great.  We are back in our hood!!!  So what do you do when you've gone for 10 months???  We went to play with all our friends!!!!

Scotty rode Gibralter today with all his buddies in Santa Barbara. Rode riding in California is world class.  We have the most scenic passes to climb with the best views of the ocean.  I know Scotty has missed riding here.  

Friday March 26, 2021 - Travel Day to Newbury Park

Today we drove about 3 hours to Newbury Park, CA.  Scotty's parents live in Newbury Park and we are going to stay with them until we jump on the plane to Hawaii.  

Thursday March 25, 2021 - Palm Springs/ Joshua Tree

Today we spent the day not in Palm Springs, not in Joshua Tree National Park but in our campground.  Yup.  I know, it's sad.  We had beautiful, fun thing to do around us and we did nothing but clean, pack for Hawaii and rest.  It's all good, Palm Springs is close to our house so we can come here easily another time.
