California Trip

We made our annual trip to see my parents this July, it was a ton of fun as usual . My sisters Janae and Chanelle were there with their kids so there were 9 little kids under eight, maybe a little crazy at times, but nothing that we in the Hansen family aren't used to. The girls had so much fun playing with their buddies. They love them so much. We didn't do a ton of activities, but that is the way I like my vacations. Some activities and lots of hanging out and being together, plus lots and lots of good food, you can't have a Hansen vacation without lots of good homemade food. I think we only went out to eat twice the whole ten days we were there. Lizzy and her buddies, she had so much fun being with them, we should call them the three musketeers because they are always playing together and Lizzy talks about them all the time.

My parents have such a nice backyard and we had so much fun hanging out there. We played lots of games and ate most meals out there. It was so nice to hang out outside and not get eaten alive by the mosquitoes, I didn't see one the whole time we were there.

We went to an outdoor splash park while we were there and the kids loved it. Lizzy especially, she has really taken to water this year. Nellie only
stayed for a few minutes before she was too grumpy and needed a nap.
Lizzy decided that she needed to wear some goggles, of course not in the pool just around the deck.
I love this picture of Nellie and her cute little smile.My girls really love their daddy. He is the best dad too, he loves his little girls so much. Poor guy he is really outnumbered in our house.

We went to a bouncy place while we were out there. The girls of course loved it especially the slides. We sure wish we lived in a place that had more stuff for kids to do. There is very little out here where we live.
Lizzy was all mad about something that day and so I had to take a picture of her pouting. Such a silly little girl, you won't find her like this often though, she is such a sweet happy girl.
Nellie loved pushing around the pretend mower, she is more of a tomboy than Lizzy and usually gravitates to the balls and toys that are more for boys.
