California trip

We arrived in California just in time for Olivia to go to bed, when she woke up in the morning she walked outside and said, "wow, nice weather." The weather was definitely an improvement from both New York and Utah.

While we were in California Olivia's cousin Luke had his birthday party. There was a reptile show where the kids could touch and hold the different reptiles. Olivia wasn't thrilled about being that close to any of the animals, but I was able to coax her on some of them.


She was willing to go up and see the big skink lizard as long as she was able to stay behind her cousin Max.
Olivia showed great bravery when they brought out the 15 foot python. Not all of the kids were willing to touch the snake, but I convinced Olivia to help hold it.
Olivia really enjoyed playing with her cousins. She was able to spend a lot of time with Scarlett while the other kids were at school. She had a lot of fun pretending to be a wedding planners, chefs and I think her favorite activity was dressing up like princesses and dancing at the ball.
California was a lot of fun. We left 70 degree weather and came home to another blizzard- luckily Olivia loves playing in the snow.
