This past week was a busy but fun one for the Petersens. Monday Jim worked in Tucson all day and got home late. Tuesday he also had a long day in Phoenix and Gwen and the kids got ready for the trip to San Diego. Tuesday night was the Pinewood Derby so Gwen and kids went, luckily Jim came and got the kids so Gwen could help clean up. Wednesday Reagan went to school and Gwen and Jim alternated errands and then we headed to San Diego after lunch. The kids did really well on the ride and we arrived early evening and the kids got to playing right away. Thursday while the Hurdsmans were in school or at work the Petersens went to Sea World. It was perfect weather (even a little chilly) and we saw a couple of shows, Shamu and Pets Rule. The kids loved the shows and the animals. We did the skyride too and did better than I thought with kids up high. We played with cousins that night and Friday we did another day at Sea World that was more relaxed but a lot of fun. The kids got REALLY close to the sting rays (actually I think they were bat rays) and they played in the water kids area so then we came home. Every night the kids played hard, but they had the hardest time getting to sleep because they were so happy to be together. Saturday was setting up the new swingset for the CA Hurdsmans. It was an all day/night project with the men attending Priesthood in between. Finally at 11 pm kids were asleep and the adults cleaned up and had ice cream and went to bed. It was nice to be mellow for Conference on Sunday and now we are heading home to AZ and hopefully the good weather won't leave when we get there. Glad Morgan is doing well and hope everyone has a good week.
