Instead of trying to write everthing down I am just going to narrate the pictures!
Tate being really excited as we drove into Simi Valley. It was so green and beautiful and such a clean and organized big town! I really liked it there!
The Wonderful and Awesome Portillo family. This family was so fun to meet because they mean so much to Tate. On his first day, his very first door, very first discussion they came to this house. After the discussion, Leonard (brother Portillo) said that he would like to be baptized. So of course Tate thought that this whole missionary work stuff couldn't be all that bad! He really took care of Tate and fed him and was just so great. I loved meeting them and their daughters and hearing all the fun things that they would do for Tate! And hearing their wonderful story of the Gospel!
Kasen playing in his house that he wanted to take home with him. He loved it so much. He would wake up in the morning saying "house, house". So after breakfast he got to go play outside for a while in his house, opening and shutting the windows and door!
The Pinkston Family. They live a few houses down the street from the Portillos and they are so fun. Their son actually goes to school at George Wythe in Cedar so that was fun to talk about. They were so kind to feed us dinner. Thanks to Ashley their daughter who took care of Kasen and Made us brownies. It was so fun listening to Tate talk with them about the times he was here and the other people they knew and how they were doing. Another GREAT family that took care of him on his mission!
He didnt' want to stay in the swing. Probably because this was going to happen:)
Kasen getting a little bit of whiplash. He isn't a big fan of swings!
Kasen playing in the park. We had pulled up to it while he was napping and going to take a little snooze ourselves, but he woke up the second we parked and saw the dogs and it was over. We got out and saw the puppies and then played for a while in the nice California Sunshine!
Saying goodbye to the Portillo family. They were so great and I am so glad that I was able to meet them and hear all the fun stories that they had about Tate!
Traveling to Ventura on Day 3 of our vacation. I think that this is so funny because Kasen is in teh background plugging his ears to whatever I was telling him. I am sure that I was telling him to smile and be happy! He didn't want to hear any of it!! ha ha

The picture of Kasen having whiplash on the swing cracks me up!haha He is so cute. I also love the one with him covering his ears! how funny! I'm glad you guys had such a good time! Like I said, we need to plan a trip in a couple years or so and go together and go back to the guys mission areas and do the whole Disneyland thing too. That would be fun! K- It's a date!
