This time of year comes around and I just can't resist getting on the train and going to see the Sorensen's in California. I am always leery about my train rides because you never know how it is going to turn out, Emily and Jennifer can attest to that fact. One morning I woke up and expected to be in Sacramento and we were stuck in the Mountains not even to Klamath Falls yet! This time all went well, better than well, excellent! We left on time and arrived on time at both ends and on the way home I had my own sleeper car, it was deluxe indeed. They wait on you and you have a private parlor car to eat in away from the coach travelers. I don't know if I can go back to being a coach traveler. I'll have to.
The time with Mel's family was wonderful, we packed as much as we could in the time we had. Saturday after they practiced for the Primary program, Andy drove us to Reno to go shopping at Cabala's and we all loved that. Sunday I was able to see the kids do their parts in the Primary program and they were great, Ben and Mel played a duet on the piano, Nick and Bella both did a great job on their talks. Nick and I went on a nice walk together while Bethany took her very long Sunday afternoon nap. That evening we celebrated Joshua's (their little Foster boy) first birthday, he loved the chocolate cup cake while eating it but later...not so much. He's a cutie and they all love him.
Monday we went to the park, played our annual $ Store game, went to see HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 ( Jenni, we agree with you all the way!!!) ate lots of good food and played games right up to time to get on the train and head home.
Thanks for having me, I loved being there!

Cute pictures, oh my gosh they are all so big!!! They are all grown up...not cool!
I bet they love it when you come, and you guys always have so much fun.
I'm so jealous about your train ride. Makes up for last time with the crazy lady.
Well first of all, I'm SO GLAD that you saw HSM3!!! Didn't you love it?!?! Oh I'm dying to see it again! I love all of the pictures, that one of Bella with the scooter is definately my fav! It all looks so fun and I really miss those trips.
and A SLEEPER CAR?! Are you kidding me?! That's the high life!!! I've always wondered how that would be. That rocks!
Love you!
Jenni, it did rock! I was wishing the whole time that you were there with me to enjoy it.
Wow you got a sleeper car! I remember having to sleep in coach and it's kinda wierd! especially since you never know about your neighbors sleeping close by... anyway, sounds like you had a great time with Melanie's family. I think Bethany was just little last time I saw them?? Sad to hear about aunt Verla.
I love Bella looking like a skater girl in the one pic and then in a sweet dress in the next one! Such a cute little baby they have at their house.
Next train trip, my house! You are officially invited.
