Temecula

We just returned from a fun whirlwind trip to Southern California. It was Jane's first plane ride and Will's first time with his own seat on the plane. The flight down went really well. The flight home, well, let's just put it this way. At one point, John leaned over to me and said, "I kind of hope the plane goes down."

Despite the joys of traveling with two kids under age 2, our trip was great. It turned into quite a cousin reunion. We were joined by Amy, Timmy and Caleb Stark who were visiting from Cold Lake, Canada while David was doing some flight training up in Iceland of all places. Beth Clauson, another cousin, also flew down from San Francisco. Finally, Chris Clauson, yet another cousin, drove over from San Diego.
During our visit, there were a total of 6 kids under age 3 (Caleb, Timmy, Will, Brielle, Cadence and Jane), and 2 babies in utero (don't worry, not us!) which made for quite an adventure. I never managed to get a picture with all the kids in the frame--impossible.
We had a great time swimming, and just enjoying each other's company. Josh and Tiff are always wonderful hosts--thanks guys!
