Weekend in LA

For the past couple of weeks Ben has been going back and forth about going or not going to LA because he wasn't sure if he wanted to go biking in Lake Tahoe or go to LA. Well, the weather ended up going sour in Tahoe like high of 47 degrees with chance of rain and snow showers. So we went to LA and had a great time with his brothers and their families.
We had my parents watch the dogs again and we got there at about 10 and stayed up until midnight talking and catching up. We seem to always stay up way late when we visit with them. Saturday we didn't do too much, we went to a soccer game and really just hung out for most of the day. Caleb and Heather's house is still on the meand. the roof has just a few more shingles to put up which is perfect timing since it was raining again on Saturday night so there was no flooding this time. Ben and Caleb went to the Priesthood session of General Conference, while the wives stayed and chatted at home.
We went to dinner at Buca di Peppo again, Ben was really wanting to go there again especially after last time. He just loves the Spicy Pizza they offer. For dessert we had Marie Callender's Pies, the Berry and Peach. When we got there at 9 the selection was pretty poor, we wanted French apple and Strawberry but they only had 4 pies left. The Berry was delicious especially with vanilla ice cream.
Sunday, surprise surprise we hung out again. We had a wonderful pancake breakfast and watch the afternoon session of conference. We had an early dinner, followed by some more pie, then headed home. We were supposed to pick up the dogs last night but we didn't make it back into town until late so my parents kept them an extra night. Thanks Mom and Dad, we really appreciate you watching them.
Well, I think that our next out of town trip will be at the end of the year when we go to... wait for it...Disneyland again. We will be there for New Year's with Dave and Erin. We'll spend a couple of days with them and a couple of days with family. Well, I better go. I will type at you all later.

Oh, here's a LO for the week.

What did I win? You sent it to me silly? Did I win something I dont know about? Just for the record Beth is SO close to getting a comment on her blog for me! So judgemental! Moving on... David told me that he doesnt want to go to Disney for his birthday anymore. He doesnt want to be is all those people on new years. He said that he also doesnt want to go California twice before the middle of 2009. We will be there in May for Dane's homecoming from his mission. He said that he is planning to go then. We will go to Fresno then to LA and then a Nonstop out of LAX. Sorry! I am sure Ben wont mind though! May is when we are going.
