OH, what do you do in the SUMMER TIME, when all the world is HOT!?

Visit cute grandgirls, Michael/Rebecca's two girls, Grace and Anne in their NEW shirts...
Buy an NEW race car, minus the RUST?? and get it to the barge for delivery to Kauai?
EAT out over and over again, and then go hang out in Target for the air conditioning
and shopping for cute little granddaughters!!
How about, fly FROM Kauai, standby, over night into LAX and commuter plane up
to SFO and Bart to Walnut Creek and picked up by Michael's sister and husband to 
Pleasant Hill for a quick Family Reunion...
Getting on the train to Sacto. to visit, SMOKEY air and heat!!
The trains were delayed due to a repair need, 3 trains in the station, a man
fell and paramedics had to come, and police and the trainman...  Action on the rails!!
I was picked up by Teri and her mom in Sacto, and slept up in Auburn for a night, 
GREAT visit--NO picture...  SOOOO smokey!!!
Ate lunch with Joy, Brit, Dallas and Ashley (she had already gone by pic. time)
at Black Angus.  Thanks Joy!  Yummy!
Sat in line at Costco for gas, NO lines like this on the island...
Watched 3 of Casey's softball games.  He plays well and wants to go up to pros!!  (maybe?)
He did fall and dislocate his shoulder later this day in between bases...  
But, he popped it back in and seems to be fine, just sore.
Our little "economy" truck, loaned by Troy, Michael's Harley buddy and WE 
SO appreciated it, running the miles around the bay area with gas SO high!
We went into SF to play tourist SINCE it was SO hot in the bay area!
A MOST beautiful day, note the absence of sweatshirts in summer!!
Michael, Melodee, and James in front of the cable car.
Stopped for sourdough bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf, NOTE the sun!!
Yeah, salt water taffy in the WHOLE store!?  Michael picking out his ONE favorite
taffy, VANILLA??  My bag of choices already purchased...
OHHH!  THIS one doesn't have a motor, but the surf idea is good!
Rode IN and OUT on Bart...  Good idea, no parking hassels!!  Tired on the way home!
Anne eating her chips.
Grace running this way and that.
Everyone having a hotdog bbque on the patio, cooler that Sunday!!
A family picture, minus Kit and John, pictured here below with Jake and Josh.
Melodee/James, Dad Michael, Barbara/Adam, Grma/Grpa...  
The boys have JUST started playing the ukulele!!!  YEAH!  
Kit had JUST returned from directing Girls Camp for her ward!! and she survived!!!!
Jesse and Jenna went to EFY for the week and Michael and I flew to SF for the week.
Michael's dad ordained Michael a High Priest last Sunday.  This was a very special thing
for his dad to do.  Grpa has spoken of it for a few years now, as a wish of a father...  
They (Michael's parents) are not able to make the pilgrimage to Kauai now, BUT they are still 2 days in the Oakland Temple sealing and working at 6am sessions, Sat/Tues.  Amazing!!!
We crashed at their home and slept in the camper, which has an air conditioner! 
Really need one in the smokey heat of 112 degrees measured on their patio for 
a couple of days!
Grace is walking Grma out of church, she kept saying, "Let's GO, Grma!"
After church, "family" picture time...  Grace, 3, Anne, 17 months and cutting a molar.
Michael freshly shaved, head and all!  and Rebecca still smiling at the end of 3 hrs. church!!
Casey and Amber showed up at Grpa/Grma's for lunch and pictures???  
It was good to see the whole family for the summer FAMILY reunion...  HOT in CA!!

Hope you all had fun while you were here! Too bad Sunday was my only day during your trip, but glad I at least got to see you all and hang out. It was fun seeing everyone and all of g-ma's singing stuffed toys. Love you all =)

Seems like a very fun/busy/hot trip! Maybe sometime when you come over to the mainland you will make it to see us in Phoenix! Kennedy is feeling a bit neglected!

This is a great post! Thanks Jeanette for being such a great wife and friend! We had a great time with family and friends and we did an impossible amount of things in just one week. I love you!

WOW! Everyone is growing up so fast! Jacob and Josh are so old and handsome now and Rebbecca went dark. I LOVE IT! You seemed to get it all in when you were there. It must be nice flying over there for cheaper than driving from Sacramento to San Fran. THANKS JENNA!
