Richard, Lynn & Richie come to visit....

In October our good friends Richard, Lynn and their son Richie made the trek over to visit us in California from Scotland. We had so much fun visiting and hanging out with them. It was nice to have a little bit of England with us for a while. Hopefully they will come back and visit us soon.

One of the fun things we did was head over to Calico for the day. My brother Joshua found this tombstone and couldn't resist taking a picture.

This donkey was so cute! After this Richard kept telling Lynn that he wanted to get a donkey. I don't think she was too impressed.

The whole gang (minus Nathan and I) climbed to the top of this big hill. Even Ashlyn made it to the top.

Another day they were here we headed up to Oak Glen. Richard and my brother Robert made homemade apple cider which tasted really good, and we took the opportunity to pick some pumpkins. We also took a hay ride which Ashlyn just loved.

Last year when Richard and Lynn visited they went and saw the dodgers play baseball at dodgers stadium (Which we won't hold against them! Go Angels!) so this year we brought tickets to go see a Laker's pre-season basketball game down at Staples center. It was so much fun.

We also spent the day down in LA with my brother Robert and his wife Maria. We rode the metro train into Union station which was an experience, and went to Alvera street and then walked down to China town, and then went over to the Chinese theater and saw the Hollywood sign. It was a great day.

Come and visit us again soon.
