We got to do many things but some of the favorites were going to the movies, dinner with Rachel and Chad, driving to and from Southern California (ha ha) going to the clubhouse and playing table tennis, pool, playing on the playground and just 'hanging out'. The photos below is the reception hall where we had the most fun throwing balls, wrestling, doing handstand competitions and doing pushups. (The normal things you do in a reception room!)
Thanksgiving at the Gharrings was the Liddicoat's first genuine experience and it was very yummy!!!! Chad's family was very welcoming and fun. The children were well entertained with more children to play with and yummy food to enjoy. We loved looking at their wonderful garden and Isaac just loved their dogs.
Thanksgiving meal was all it was cracked up to be. As you can see, the preparations were intense, but the food was fantastic. We were all stuffed and loved it.
Magic Mountain theme park!
For my 30th, Dave organised for us to go to Magic Mountain for the day. We had so much fun going on all the crazy rides. I have never seen so many rollercoasters in one place. We felt like a couple of young kids. We are so grateful for Rachel and Chad for looking after our children for the WHOLE time.
THE BOYS!!!!
After many late nights the children were chilling out and watching a DVD.
Thanksgiving day the boys went out for the 'Turkey Bowl". Perfect conditions on the day as it was the only day it rained and they came back muddy, wet, cold and hungry. Fortunately Rachel had pancakes and sausages for everyone.
The day we left was nice and relaxing after trying to squeeze in so much in the other days. The weather was so nice we all wanted to go swimming!!
The whole neighborhood children came out to play and they were hula-hooping to their hearts content. Even the mums had a go!
