The Fletcher's Came to Town!

My sister and her family came to visit for their Spring Break in March. It was so great to have them here and to have the cousins all together. They were glad to get away from the frozen Alaskan winter and we were so happy to see them! We missed Aaron because he is at BYU.

Alaina and Ryan played hooky when we went to Alcatraz. It was a beautiful day and everyone was fascinated by the audio guide.

On Saturday we went to Discovery Kingdom. It was Opening Day so I was worried it would be crowded but it was the only day we could all go so we went anyway. It turned out to be the best day! No lines at all, warm enough but not hot, almost all of the rides were working...just perfect.

The bumper cars are always a hit. (ha!)

I had gone with Andy to get dippin' dots and when we got back to the Lion Show everyone else had just bought frozen lemonades from the vendor. Next time we'll wait!

I'm so glad they came to see us!

Whirlwind Wicked Weekend

My mom, sister, and niece came to visit from Alaska and we crammed in so much fun in just a few days! On Friday I took the girls out of school and the six of us went to Discovery Kingdom. We went on Medusa, Kong, Roar, and V2 (twice!) in just 2 hours! Usually I spend that much time in line for just a few rides. It was 78 degrees and beautiful.

Then we drove to San Francisco and took a cable car to Ghiradelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf. We took taxi's to China Town, were I found the most beautiful table in the world and a 7 foot painting that I can't live without. We took more taxi's to Sauce and had an incredible dinner. YUM! And we took yet more taxi's to the Orpheum Theater to see the awesome play, Wicked. We all loved it. I drove us all home in one piece...well, I guess in six pieces...but each of us was one exhausted piece.
