I got to take a trip down to California and it was a good time. Mom and Ashleigh and her kids were in Utah visiting family until the end of the week so Heather and I stayed at Moms house and sewed, watched movies, hung out and lived our best lives. We went and did water aerobics a couple of times and then one day Jeremy came over to hang out with us and for lunch we went to Anthony's which is a pizza place and they make the most delicious pizzas and salads and breadsticks. I seriously crave the food there and it is a must go when ever I am in California. The World Cup has been going on and this year it was being played in the United States. It was down to the semi-finals and they were playing the game on the TV in the restaurant. I have not watched any of the games up until this point and didn't really care to but we started watching this game and I got super into it and then we could not leave until it was over. Heather was into watching it with me but Jeremy not so much. He was a good sport to stick it out with us and didn't complain about being stuck there watching a game he did not care about.

While we were at Water Aerobics one day the instructor was telling everyone that after class was over she and her husband were going to the beach and the beach they were going to was Crystal Cove. Heather and I have never heard of this place but it sounded so magical the way she described it that we decided to take a beach day and go to Crystal Cove.
It was a cute little beach surrounded by bungalows some restaurants and gift shops. After relaxing in our chairs for a couple of hours Heather and I went to go look in the shops and see if we could find something to eat. The restaurants were too expensive and the gift shops were not great, as we were heading back to our chairs we decided to pack up and go find a quilt shop I had scouted out being in the area. When we got back to our chairs we found a small group of people had parked their chairs right in front of ours, kind of rude. As we walked by them to get to ours they asked if we could still see and I said we were leaving anyway to which they said how lucky they were. Yeah right, they were lucky that we were leaving and didn't make them move. I do not understand what goes on in the heads of some people.
On Friday we met up with Ryker and Anna who have been living with her family in Redlands for the summer and went to the Redlands Temple for an endowment. It was a nice session and fun to be in the Temple with Ryker and Anna and Heather. MaryBeth was working that morning and she found us in the Celestial room after our session and we visited for a bit.I forgot to get a picture with Ryker and Anna after we left but Heather and I got some together.

After the Temple we went to Anna's parents house to see the renovations Anna did I their Kitchen and then her Mom came with us out for Brunch. It was nice to visit with Aileen and of course being able to spend a little more time with Ryker and Anna was nice.
After Brunch Heather and I said our goodbyes and we went to a quilt store that I had found in Redlands and it was a really good store. Heather and I found a dress pattern and material to make dresses and the pattern could also make a tunic so we bought material to make a top as well.
I loved downtown Redlands, I thought it was really pretty and historic looking and I loved all of the oranges.
Heather and I got some ice-cream and then we headed to Brea to go with Erin to her appointment with her surgeon. They would only let Erin and 1 other person in so I had Heather go in with her while I waited in the waiting room. I thought it better for Heather to go in so she could help take notes and keep track as to what the Dr said. Erin is going to have a mastectomy and he explained all that it would entail.
