Another Weekend in Sunnyvale

4 girls; 1 bed

"Gamma Luci" and Maisy posing at church

My father in law is still stationed out in Sunnyvale while a church up there looks for a permanent pastor to fill their pulpit, so we decided to take another 3 day weekend excursion out to see him. This time "Gamma Luci" was there too! Despite the rain and cold, the girls were in hotel heaven with the "luxuries" of continental breakfasts and swimming pools, yep, that's right they went swimming despite the cold temperatures, and you can bet we had the pool to ourselves! We had a great time, eating, and playing, and eating, and eating... did I mention eating? We even happened to go to Marie Calendars on International "Pie" day and we all got free slices of pie! You can't imagine the kind of happiness free pie can bring in my life.

Of course no trip with 4 kids would be complete without a good old-fashioned "kids will be kids moment." And that moment occurred for us when the hotel called our room because the police had just called them. Why had they called? Because apparently that's what police do when a 911 call has been made from where? Oh, from our hotel room of course. Thank you Noelle, for providing me with classic blogging material, but next time I'd prefer to blog about you being the winner of the National Spelling Bee or at least that you no longer write your N's backwards, let's just try and avoid any future brushes with law enforcement, shall we?
