We made it to CA

So we are in CA now. We flew in on Wednesday. Our plane in Idaho Falls was delayed and it looked like we might not make it to Sacramento till Thursday morning. But when we got into Salt Lake City for our lay over, our other plane had been delayed as well and we made the second flight just in time. We were all very excited.
The kids were excited about the airplane. RJ thought it was the neatest thing to be on an airplane. He enjoyed his window seat view and was very good the whole trip. Savannah did pretty well. She didn't want to wear her seat beat and had a little screaming fit but once she calmed down she was fine the rest of the way. On the second flight she did complain about her ears hurting. The girl who steals and chews all the gum in the house, wouldn't take a piece of gum on the plane. Luckily she did fall asleep but unfortunately it was 15 minutes before we landed. Nether the less, we made it to Sacramento with little problems.
We stayed in Sacramento till the weekend. We enjoyed time with Jared's dad, who has two new kitties and a puppy. The kids loved the new animals, especially the cats. They couldn't get enough of them. I think they were glad when we left.
We celebrated Jared's 28th birthday Friday night. Hawk (his dad) and Molly took us to an Asian Buffet. It was seriously the best buffet I have been to. There was tons of Sea Food that satisfied the birthday boy. And there was lots of yummy Chinese dishes that I enjoyed since I could care less about Sea Food. The down side of the evening was Savannah came down with a Fever. She slept all the way through dinner and ate only a few pieces of Jello that night. RJ broke out into Hives and had trouble breathing after we left the restaurant. Even though he didn't eat anything new, we think he might have some allergy to Sea Food and some oils or something touched his food.
Both kids have had awful colds. RJ's cough is horrible but he seems to be on the down hill. Savannah's fever only lasted Friday night but she still wasn't herself Saturday. Today seems to be a little better. Hopefully they are both well for Christmas, it will be a bummer having sick kids on such a busy exciting day.
Sorry no pictures.

I wish I could have the child-like innocence of being excited to be on a plane. I fly to Jersey Tuesday, and I am absolutely terrified!
