April Fools!

I just rushed out to get Grandpa to tell him that our toilet was smoking!!

He hurried in to see what could be wrong!!

Yup, the toilet was definitely smoking!!

Family On The Move!

The Melanchuks moved from Florida to California!

They arrived on New Year's Eve and stayed with the Perrys.

There were some fun activities!

Then they stayed with us.

 And then they headed to Chico.  I have never seen a van so packed full!

They had to get used to cold weather!

They did some exploring

Dan and I and Hannah went to visit them on Monday, January 20th.

Checking out the backyard

We spent some time at a local park connected to the kids' elementary school.

 Michael, Amanda and Daniel playing soccer

There was even a play

Monday, February 17th

We decided to surprise the Melanchuks and Perrys who were meeting at a Sam Brannan park in Yuba City!  There was a picnic, games and lots of fun!

Sea Ranch in February!

We spent a few days at Sea Ranch during the Temple winter maintenance closure.

It was a new house for us and we really liked it.

We thought it might be rainy and stormy but it was actually warm and calm!

Fun walks

And we even took one walk in the nearby Redwood forest

We found the sheep and enjoyed watching them

Especially the Moms with their lambs!

Always hard to leave this beautiful place!
