California Trip: visiting Oma

On our last day we drove down to Sun City to visit Oma (my dad's mom). It was kind of a last-minute decision, since it was a two hour drive each way & then we'd be driving home that night, but I'm so glad we decided to! I can't remember the last time the four of us siblings (+all of our kids) were all together with Oma, so it was very special!
This was Oma's first time meeting Cedar.
Oma had prepared food ahead of time, so when we got there Becca, Katrina, and I helped serve everyone.

It was extremely hot there and Oma's air conditioner was acting up, so Josh worked on it and got it to start blowing cold air again. So, her house felt cool, but it was super hot outside! I forgot to mention also that on our drive to Sun City our car started overheating (it had been doing that throughout our time in CA), so we actually got a new radiator while we were visiting Oma. It was a bummer, but we were thankful that the mechanic was able to fit us in so we could get it taken care of before the long drive home.
The kids played inside and found ways to stay entertained--thanks to Uncle Erik and his cool iphone!

On the way back to Glendora the Henry's took Erik to the airport to catch his flight to Seattle, then the rest of us went to the Barrett's for one final swim & visit.
