Trip to Cali

On May 6th Mark and I found out that T Pela's father has passed away in California. The Pela's are such good friends of ours and would do anything for us. Mark and I decided we would take the girls and drive out to Cali for the funeral services. They were held on Saturday May 9th. We left Salt Lake on Thursday night around 9PM. We figured if we drove through the night the girls would both sleep. We got to our hotel Friday morning around 8. It took us 11 hours and the girls were great... both of them slept most of the way. Here are some pictures from the services.
This is what happens after a long day...after leaving the cemetaryTalei & Tali on our way to the cemetaryEntertaining themselves in the hotelNow for the drive home...not SO fun!! We left Cali around noon. Both girls were ready for a nap. The beginning of the drive went okay. Then it was not so okay. Niether of them wanted to sit in their seats they both wanted out of the car! We stopped in Winnemucca for about an hour. Tali rode her scooter around and Kenya was all over the place. Then it was back in the car!! We made it home safely at 2:30 Monday morning. We are both glad we went and the services were beautiful.

And she is gone...

I had wondered on facebook why you guys were going to California. I thought you guys were going on a vacation. It's been awhile since we've taken a roadtrip and with 5 don't know if ours will do as well as yours. Glad you guys made it safely to and from.
