(Once again all these pictures were stolen from my sister since we still do not have a working camera.)
A few weeks ago the girls & I hopped in the car and drove back out to Southern California. This time we went a little further North from San Diego and ended up in the San Fernando Valley. We had such a fantastic time visiting with Mimi & Papa and the Johnsons. One day we all went to Knotts Berry Farm. We had a blast! The last time we were there Charis was 3 and Emma was 6 months old. This time Charis was 7, Emma was 4, Maddie was 3 and Savannah was 8 months old. Here's Maddie & Charis on the first ride. 
My dad & I took my girls on the Log Jammer. Charis LOVED it! Emma wasn't so sure about the big drop at the end but the splashing water was so refreshing! I think it was about 90 degrees that day. I thought it best not to complain about the heat seeing that at home it was about 115 that day!
All the ladies waiting for the train ride.
Savannah is such a sweet baby! Everyone wanted to hold and snuggle with her.
Looks like it's Charis' turn.
We also rode a stagecoach. Mimi, Papa, Savannah, Jesse & I were on the inside.
Knotts had the same ride that Legoland did! Once again it was a big hit!
The girls met Snoopy and whoever this other one is. It's pretty sad that I have no idea.
The girls on another ride waiting for instructions.
Sweet Savvy with Mimi.
Emma & Maddie rode on this little one. Charis was so disappointed that she was too tall to ride with them.
I love Emma's face!
My girls wanted to ride the "Carris Wheel" as Charis called it. I think it was a combination of Ferris Wheel and Carousel! Hilarious! Anyway, I didn't realize how high it went and how much I'm afraid of heights! Random strangers were laughing at me from the ground. I'm glad I was so entertaining!
These were the spinning hats. Everyone loved these! After two rides in a row I had to take a break. That chicken dinner was good the first time, I didn't need to taste it again.
The girls had so much fun just being together.
Charis is going to make a great mommy one day, er...how about a great babysitter one day!
Another day we went to the beach. It was COLD!!! But we still had a great time digging in the sand.

See how windy it was? Poor little Savvy was wrapped up in towels just to keep warm.
Then the girls decided they wanted to go in the water. I'm not sure how I got stuck with that job.
By the time the sun had started to set I was completely numb from the knees down.
This is the day we went horseback riding.
Emma loved it! The second ride she wanted to go on a bigger horse that wasn't attached to this circle thingy but unfortunately I don't have any pictures of that.
Charis also went on a bigger horse the second time around. She loved it both times!
Then Mimi took us all on a train ride.

Mimi & her girls. Thank you Mimi for a fun day!
And thank you to everyone (Papa, Mimi, Aunt Deedee, Uncle Jesse, Maddie & Savannah) for such a wonderful trip! We loved spending every minute with you and it was a great end to a great Summer! 
School starts on Monday!
