Family visit in September!

I'm another month and a half behind on my blog.  Shocking, isn't it?  We'll just jump right in!

In mid-September, my mom, sister and kids came down for an extended weekend visit.  They arrived in the middle of our never-ending heat wave - the temps were hovering between 99-105 throughout the weekend, fun, eh?  Well, we made it fun!!

For one of our excursions together, we went bowling at 300 Pasadena.  It was a fun time, and a great way to beat the awful heat outside.  Here are a few highlights from the lanes!

Seriously, our best attempt at getting a group shot before the game.

Two cute blondies, just along for the ride.

Maddie is telling me about the bowling balls...I guess.

Sweet Benjamin.

Someone desperately wanted to play too.

My guys.

The other main excursion of our weekend, was a park-hopping trip over to California Adventure and Disneyland, which was great fun!  We experienced the newly renovated park, along with the highly anticipated Cars Land (Brant and I had been before, but my family had not), and we also enjoyed the fall/Halloween decor around the parks.  We all agreed it was a great day!

Sarah and her kids at Cars Land!

Love all of them.

Nothing like sister love.

Brant's first time on The Tower of Terror...

Not his most favorite ride.

Taking off on the Radiator Springs Racers!

Wohoo!  It really is a great ride!

Aren't they sweet?

Another little sweetie.
