We moved an hour down the road to Anaheim. Unfortunately it took way more than an hour to get there. Fortunately it was for a good cause. 

  
Sean loves Strawberries! This is the look he gives you when you ask him if he is going to share the strawberries you just spent 40 minutes helping him pick. We stopped at Carlsbad Strawberry Company where I used to go and buy strawberries each time I visited my grandparents. Sean talked about how awesome it was the entire time and talked about how awesome it was to pick your own and then eat them. 

 Just before we got to the strawberry place, I noticed I was dragging something behind my rv. We hadn’t hooked up the jeep as we weren’t sure we could get into the parking area to pick Strawberries.( which it turns out we couldn’t ).  Turns out I was dragging my tow bar. More on this later. 

The best part of today (July 2) is that we met Pat in Anaheim. He flew out to spend 6 days with us. Brian is especially thrilled as Pat will help take him to all the airsoft stores in the area. He has Christmas and Birthday money burning a hole in his pocket. 

The second best part was visiting my other cousin, Carol, and her family. I love my cousins and all their kids. I am so glad we got together often. My sons and husband never once dragged their feet to go (which says a lot).  

  We spent most of the 3rd running around Anaheim. We had to find a rv or towing supply store to get a new tow bar. They didn’t have one in stock but sent a driver to get one from a distributor. While we waited we went to fry’s.  Picture Best Buy and MicroCenter combined in a Costco sized warehouse and you know what it’s like. It’s Nerdvana!

  
We also had lunch at a CA institution. I think so many people hyped it up to us that when we were disappointed we weren’t surprised. 

  After picking up my new tow bar, we headed to Airsoft GI then Evike looking at tons and tons of items until Brian spent all his money. Then we finally dragged him away and we spent the rest of the night relaxing while Brian organized his stash. 

 Saturday (4th) we slept in late then went out to Golf-n-Stuff. We played putt putt, drove s-l-o-w bumper cars, fast go carts (steering wasn’t very good) and raced around in bumper boats. Afterwards the kids cooled off with slushies and played a few games in their arcade. I believe this is the night our cousins visited us in our rv. 

Did I mention my cousins rock? Just saying they totally rock!

Take care y’all
