A weekend to never forget

In early July Dad and Mom flew Danny and I down to Cali for the purpose of us all, as a family, to clean and organize their garage. We all wanted to help. Mission accomplished! The garage turned out fabulous and we had a blast doing it. More importantly, we had SO MUCH fun hanging out as a family. No kids. No spouses. JUST US!!! It was amazing. Here's the garage..My brotha' and I. Dan, me, Sarah, Mom and Dad went to dinner that night and then saw Harry Potter.

I LOVE my Dad and Mom!!! They are the best parents a girl could ever ask for.
The next night we all went to our favorite restaurant, Panda Inn. Aunt Nancy and Nana joined us. It was TOO good!
Late that night us siblings headed out for some much needed quality time. It was weird not having Mike there. It didn't feel complete, but we had a BLAST anyway. We all missed him and talked and remembered him A LOT!
We went to the Anaheim 300 (my favorite place) and danced and bowled. Don't you just love our matching bowling shoes? lol
We then went to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert and then wandered and terrorized the Garden Walk. We laughed our butts off! We then headed back to Dad and Mom's and just talked and laughed till almost 3 am. It was FABULOUS! I love these guys!!!
On my last day there I got to spend some quality time with Corey. He is such a doll and such a good boy. I love him to pieces! He reminds me of Mike SO much!!!
Here's Sarah and I on the way to the airport doing what we do best...goofing off. :)

I am so thankful my parents flew me down. It was much needed. I loved every minute of it!
