Visit to California

Hailey and I were lucky enough to visit family in California this summer.  It ended up being a last minute visit and we were so excited.  Unfortunately Sean was unable to go with us because he had a tonsillectomy when we got back and had to take two weeks off of work. 

There will be several slideshows to view because of course I took LOTS of pictures.  Hailey got to visit with family she met when she was itty bitty and there were family members she got to meet for the very first time.

These are pictures of the first couple of days. I tried to take a picture of her on the plane sucking away on her lollipop, but she kept looking the other way. She did a pretty good job on her first plane ride.



Hailey and I were able to attend my nephew Lucas' birthday party. Hailey was so excited to spend the day with her cousins but she was not happy about not being able to participate in the bowling. She had fun running up and down.



Hailey had her first experience in a pool at her Aunt Kristy and Uncle Louie's house. She had a blast. She kept splashing Grandpa Luis and thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. Her cousins Shelby and Lucas wanted to take Hailey to the Children's Museum in Stockton and so we went there for a couple of hours. It was fun to see Hailey run from section to section.



On our last few days we kept rather busy. Hailey met some of her cousins and had a nice visit with them. She even got lots of clothes from my cousin, Gyna.

We had to make a stop and visit my grandpa Albert's grave. I wanted Hailey to see where her great-grandpa was buried. She got to blow kisses at him and see where he rest in peace.

Hailey got to experience another big swimming pool at her great-aunt Mimi's house. Her Uncle Louie was nice enough to go in the pool with her. She got to swim with her cousin Ruben. It was nice to visit with lots of family. Thanks Tia Mimi for having the BBQ.

You will notice that on the way back home Hailey was rather exhausted and slmost slept the entire flight. I am so glad that we had the chance to visit. Thanks Ibarra family for making it so fun and memorable. Hopefully we will get to visit soon and this time Sean can go with us.
