Malibu California.....Family and Friends

I can honestly say this is one of those trips I just can't explain.  What Friends, What Family and What fun.  The greatest trip ever.   Michelle and Cam Kelsch invited us to Malibu, we stayed in little cabins by thier Fitness Ridge Spa. It was simply amazing and no pictures will do it justice.  These first few picts are of us right by our cabins, it's at 'M" Cafe.  Is it amazing or what.

One day we decided to hit Disneyland.  Kelsch's, Us, Dani and Wade family, my sister Kari and two wonderful sitters Bergan Nelson and Sarah Henderson, they were such help and super fun.  They watched the kids while us adults hit dinner at night.




One of the amazing hikes offered at fitness ridge, this place is so beautiful......





More picts on the grounds of Calamigos Ranch...




We also headed to Medievel Times.........The joust and dinner show.  I can honestly say this was a shocker.  We didn't know what to expect and yet it was AMAZING, the food and the show....You all must see...I am pretty sure it's similar to the one at the excalibur.  But we had a blast.







The Cabins we stayed in, a perfect patch of grass in front that made for a wiffle ball field being used 24/7.  The kids all do so well together.  We love them all.

One evening we had a huge Kickball game.  Super Competitive also I would have to say, this is another plot of land on Calamingos Ranch.  You don't even have to leave this Ranch, everything is right there.  Its one of the prettiest places I have ever been.

Dani's Surprise Party!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy 30th Dani!!!!!!!
My sisters, mom and I along with Dani's good friends Michelle and Cam Kelsch threw Dani a 30th surprise party. It's a tradition us sisters have. The only tricky thing is trying to still make it a surprise though they know its coming. I think we did a pretty good job with this one. We threw it a week or so early.

I have to admit I was super excited to use my new Happy Birthday Banner I made. It's huge and so is the Kelsch's home where the party was.
