Thursday June 4

Here are a few other photos from Santa Barbara. We took library books back, went to the Court House, the Mission (to see the chalk art), and a park. We had dinner at Chilis. The Simms boys love chips and salsa :)

CA Beach

Annie couldn't let us come to Santa Barbara without taking us to the beach. Just as soon as all the kids got home from school, that's exactly where we went. It was a gray day, but the kids still had fun.

To Goleta/Santa Barbara

We stayed with Mike and Carrie until Tuesday, June 2. On Monday evening, we took everyone to Red Lobster for dinner. (one of Nicholas' favorite places). Mike had a FHE planned. A follow up after Nicholas' baptism. They had been preparing him for several months to understand what baptism is. On Tuesday, Carrie's Dad took us to Union Train Station in LA. We rode the train to Goleta and Alex picked us up.

Redondo Beach Weekend

We were scheduled to fly from San Antonio to LA on Friday, May 29. With our track record of getting flooded IN (during the past few weeks) and having a huge rain storm about midnight on Thursday- we decided to load up the car and head for the Anderson house. It was raining so hard, just before midnight that it made driving difficult, because it was so hard to see the road. We were both somewhat relieved when we made it past the low water crossing on Wharton's Dock Road. We still drove through heavy rain all the way to San Antonio, but at least we knew that we were OUT of Bridlegate. After a short night's sleep we parked the car at the Red Roof Inn and headed for the airport. Our flight arrived about an hour late- Mike came and picked us up in LA. Nicholas' baptism was at 11 am on Saturday. A fun day with the Thompsons and the Simms. The Simms just spent Saturday there and headed home in the evening. We stayed for a couple more days. We enjoyed going to church with Mike and Carrie on Sunday- especially enjoyed attending Mike's Sunday school class- he is a great teacher.
