CALEE-FOORNN-YAA!!!

Well we just got back from our trip to California. It was a fun one, filled with lots of good food and great company. We were able to see Grandpa & Grandma Callahan at the lake, hit the golf course with Nate and Dad, and even through a few pitches which I haven't done for years. We even "tried" to play basketball, which made me understand why I never tried to play. Dad kept on saying, "Man, you guys suck at sports!" "Only sport your guys were good at was rollerhockey!" I got a few pitches over the mound, Nate did better than me, and Jean-Ann even threw a few.

Mandy was able to get in her shopping with the sis-n-laws (Liz, Erica, & Jean-Ann) and Laynie even had a sleep over with Aubryn which was pretty cool. Larry beat me with his I.Q. and Dad even tried to get struck by lightening while we were playing golf. I did shoot a 39 (par 46) on the put course.

We were able to celebrate Mom's 59th birthday singing the birthday song perfectly in tune. And at the end I even had a full plate of nacho's loaded with jalapenos! (Not always a good idea when your about to fly.) I'm glad that we were able to spend time with the family and enjoy one anothers company. I'm thankful for the efforts made so that we could share the time together. As Dad said, "The most important thing you have in life is your "time" and how you spend it means a lot to me!"

Thank you Larry, Erica, Liz, Nate, Jean-Ann, Mom & Dad, and all the kids for taking the time to share with us.
