Kiesig Family Reunion!

This last weekend we (me, Kenneth, Michael & wife Kim, and Alisha) headed out to California for the Kiesig Family Reunion...here is the run-down:

We left Thursday after work and headed out to Woodland, CA. We drove through the night eating a lot of junk food, and watching a lot of movies. We arrived at Pa A's house around 2 am. We went to sleep and for SOME reason I woke up at like 8 am. Miserable!

Anyway, after getting ready and eating breakfast, Michael, Kim, Alisha, Kenneth and I headed out for the Vacaville outlet stores. People bought a ton of stuff, and then we made our mandatory trip to In-N-Out! I love that place! Then we continued down to the camp ground near Monteray Bay. We got there about 4 pm. Once there we set up our tents (everyone made fun our our little back packing tent...I'll have to post the picture comparing ours with Michael and Kim's) and then just hung out with the family.

Saturday we played lots of games with the family members and hung out on the beach ALL DAY! I went body surfing for the first time, which was fun, but the waves were kind of weird there. They only broke right against the shore, so you rode the wave and then were pounded into the sand! It was kind of painful, but still really fun! The downside was that it got really stormy and rained on and off for several hours! We stayed at the beach the whole time though! We sat under the little canopy during the rain storms and laid out in the cold sand the other times until the storm passed and it was sunny again.

Come Sunday we packed up all of our stuff, and headed out! We had to drive 3 hours up to Sacramento again, and we stopped by my mom's place for a quick minute to say hi. Then Alisha had to see her best friend for another minute. We finally got out on the road at like 4:30pm! It was another long day in the car! We finally got into Salt Lake around 1:15am. Not bad!

Anyway, all in all it was a great trip! We got to hang out with family and play games, and hear little Tytus Andrew (he's like 3) sing Phantom of the Opera (he's totally going to be famous some day) and see all the other little ones. It was so fun! I was NOT happy about waking up this morning though...work...yuck! Anyway, let's all hope that Kenneth didn't fall asleep while taking his test today!
