Sisters!

I grew up in a family of 8 children (including myself). There are 4 girls and 4 boys. I am close to all of my siblings and try to talk to all of them on a somewhat regular basis. (Some I definitely talk to more than others, though.)

Once we bought the tickets to go out to California, I tried to convince my siblings, that live in the West, that they wanted to come and visit us while we were there. (Nate is in northern California and Heather and Tim are in Utah.) They all said they couldn't for one reason or another. But on Friday evening after our day trip to Los Angeles, we had a surprise waiting for us...


...Heather had flown in for the weekend. Lara nor I knew that she was coming and we were very excited to see her!

It was fun having all of us, sisters, together! It's hard for us all to get together because the whole living on opposites sides of the country thing and it costs a lot to fly and we all have busy schedules etc etc.

 Balboa Island Beach!

It was good having all of us together again, even if only for less than 48 hours!
