California Dreamin'

WOW! the last 2 weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement and stress and fun! We are currently sitting in LAX airport waiting to board our flight to Australia via Auckland New Zealand.

After packing and packing and packing and then re-packing.. our leg of our trip from Chicago to LA went well. We also just checked our 8 bags in LA with no problems and security was relatively easy. We have yet to have our carry-ons weighed but are hoping that process goes smoothly as well.

Today we spent a large chunk of the day hanging out with my (Heathers) cousin Brett and his wife Michele and family and our good friend Sunday at a beach club near their house. our plan was to completely wipe out the kids with sun, water, sand and fun! I think mission was accomplished and we are so hoping that the kids knock out for the majority of our first leg of the trip of 13hrs!  We had a blast in Cali and we could have definitely stayed a few days!

We appreciate prayers for the rest of our travels!!

Here are a few photos from the last 2 weeks of our time in Chicago and today in Cali.
