California trip

> We left pretty early to go to Matt and Amy's house. The trip was good, no bad weather and the traffic was always going the other direction. When we got to their house no one was there. I had a key once but I think I left it here and never found it again. I called Matt and he was on his way home so we were able to get in and rest. Matt set us up watching a movie in the screening room and it was nice to just relax and watch the movie.
> Amy was with her mom and Zoe out shopping and then went to the airport to pick Doug up. When they got home they didn't even notice my car out front or my purse on the couch. We really surprised them when the movie was over.
> On Saturday Curt and I went with Matt to Home Depot to pick up some plants for the back yard. One of their neighbors came over as we were unloading the car and offered to help plant and carry everything to the back yard. Curt and Matt trimmed the Pomegranate tree and the palm trees. It was really a fun time, every one planting or trimming. Sandi and Doug were out there too. The weather was great! It was so nice to be able to go outside and not Freeze!! The back yard looks so good now.
> At five we got ready and went to the church to see Zachary and Zoe get baptised. Everything went well there. The kids were great. When we got home we started getting ready for the BBQ. Matt and Amy had invited some friends and neighbors over. Matt was grilling terrific steaks while Amy and her Mom got everything ready in the house. It was so nice to visit everyone. Only drawback? Amy and Matt both had colds, so we decided to leave a day early. We were going to stay till Monday but thought we should get out of there asap.We left the next morning when the kids went to church.
> The ride home was pretty un-eventfull, which is good. We stopped in Las Vegas and had a bite to eat then went on to Mesquite and played a little. I came out on top by $8 dollars. Yeah!
> Well, bad news was when Curt got up Monday morning his throat hurt. He did get the cold that we tried to avoid. This week has been pretty rough on him as these colds usually go into pnemonia. He will see the Dr. on Monday and try to get over this.
> The weather has been pretty good up until today, so Curt has been adding onto his studio when he felt good enough to go outside. Today the wind is really blowing hard so we have been just staying inside.
> Matt we still love you even though you gave your cold to your Dad. We will just need to be more carefull next time we travel.
> Daniel and Sarah did not get to come to California or Utah. Turns out that Kira had her spring break that week but Maelle had hers the next week. We hope to be able to see them soon too.
> Matt and family are trying to come to Utah next week to ski and go to Salt Lake to see friends up there. The snow should be good for their visit. See ya then. -Elaine
