Little Summer Getaway

Our Trip to Modesto

{but we didn't find Susan and her friends}




Each summer Josh usually covers for a pharmacist in Redding, CA for a week but since it was so close to my due date and the closest hospital is an hour or so away his work arranged it so he could work in Modesto for the week instead and had the pharmacist covering in Modesto go to Redding instead...it was very nice of Cardinal to do that for us...and so off we went to Modesto to stay in a hotel for a week with Daddy! The kids love staying in a hotel...I think this is all they know of a vacation thus far other than G&G's in SV and Tahoe...;) they liked Modesto so much they were talking plans of moving their after they become Dr's... ;)

I'll be honest...I was excited about Modesto too for three main reasons...

  • Hoping to use the Kaiser Hospital there in Modesto since it's newly remodeled and they serve a romantic steak dinner for you and honey after you give birth ;)
  • Pool and paid for hotel and meals
  • Mall with a Crazy 8, a huge Forever 21 that had all departments {including kids}, an H&M and Babies R Us


Every night we had swim time and the kids were able to practice some new things...jumping in, swimming without floaties, and snorkeling...


Lexi learned to snorkel and jump in...



Dalen showed us he could swim all the away around the pool without having his snorkel gear on...



We finally got Deveon to jump in after bribing him all week with all sorts of things...The thing that won him over was a snickers ice cream bar all to himself...



The kids loved playing in the pool and spa



and Noah loved having the freedom to roam the pool with the little swim ring that was just his size...He liked his freedom a little too much...crazy kid...here he is going "round round too-tools" {circles} in the pool...
