The Laughlins

We are wrapping up our week-long trip to see our grandparents in NorCal and Oregon, and here are some of the pictures. Mark's dad came to see us after a San Diego business trip and stayed Thursday and Friday night last week. On Saturday morning, he left for San Diego, and we picked up a rented Chevy Malibu and headed for Sacramento. The car only had 800 and some miles on it when we started, so we have tripled the mileage so far...they're going to wonder where we went with all of our unlimited mileage! On Saturday night, we arrived at Tim and Mel's to a party and tons of food. All of my family showed up, and Aunt Ruthy and Isaac came down for her birthday. We stayed up talking and hanging out. Jake, Sheri, and Zach spent the night along with Ruthy, Charlie, and Isaac (and us), so we had a full house. This first set of pictures is from last Saturday night. The snow pictures are actually from the "Grapevine" in Los Angeles on our way up...yes, parts of LA actually get snow...not many though.
