California and Thanksgiving

After the morning at Zion we were off to California to my parents house.  We took Skyler to the beach for the first time but it was a cold, windy beach day!  We didn't last long.

Jason and Moises stayed a little longer and explored the pier and downtown Huntington Beach.

With so many things to choose from to do in Southern California we asked Moises what he would like to do the most.  He picked Universal Studios because he loves to watch movies.

The Jurrasic Park ride scared Kaitlyn to death and Jared isn't too fond of roller coasters thanks to inheriting my motion sickness.  It was a fun day though and Moises really enjoyed the Studio Tour.

Moises got to experience an American Thanksgiving with my family.  I think he found the food somewhat unusual but enjoyed learning about our traditions.

The day after Thanksgiving, Jason, Andrew, Moises, my dad and I went to the Newport Beach Temple to do baptisms.  It was my first time going to the temple with Andrew and it was a great experience.

All too soon (for us) the month was over and it was time for Moises to go home.  I'm sure he was more than ready to go home and see his family who he really missed.  Our kids were so sad to see him go but we enjoy talking to him on Skype and are already looking forward to the next time we will see him.
