The Short Trip to Uncle Jimi's, Moving Grandma in a Day.




Early (7:30 am) last Saturday My dad, two sisters (Katie and Sarah), Kaden and I headed to New Berry Park California for a quick visit. Grandma Karla is moving into Logandale and has her own place this time! This move happened so fast it was great and the trip to California just added to the action. After our short 7 hour drive we arrived at Uncle Jimi's and began to unload the majority of the garage into my dads truck and trailer. By we i really mean Jimmy, Dad, and Kaden. They seemed to have it under control so Sarah and I did what we do best and visited with Aunt Heather and played with the boys. It was so nice to catch up with their family we really don't get to see them enough. Katie had a blast playing play station with James while we got the run down on all of the boys sports updates from Justice, he is five and i swear a little genius. James is playing flag football now and Soccer. Although the game is to grab the flags he has a tendency to take down everyone in his path. Honestly this kid is destined to be the most amazing sports child on the planet. Well after visiting for awhile and making a trip to Sports Chalet the packing was done and everyone played a game of baseball in the front yard. A little back ground on the Hendrix sports history. Jimi and Dad had scholarships through high school playing sports. Jimi even went and played on a farm team for the Philadelphia Philis. His sons are like three times the size they are supposed to be and can already throw a ball faster than most guys i know and can bat both right handed and left handed. So this was a pretty competitive game. Especially since us Hendrix girls are so uncoordinated and the only who does play sports is Sarah and that doesn't say to much for us. Well anyways we had a fun time playing and i had a chance to take some pictures. After the baseball game the boys insisted on playing some street Basketball. That was a lot of fun as well and the boys got to hang out with Kaden some more. They absolutely love him. After basketball Justice goes "So what sport now guys" its funny how they never stop. We had a nice dinner though and got to talk about making pomegranate wine (anyone interested ;) ?) and Kaden got to do some sucking up to "Grandma K" Heather named him grandson K it was pretty funny. Oh i did forget to mention though that Kaden dropped me off of the trailer between the baseball and basketball games and that was pretty eventful. The night ended with some good old Golden Spoon and buying a new wake board on our way home at Sports Chalet. We had noticed them earlier and they were 50% off, it was just a deal we really couldn't pass up. At 4:30 am Sunday morning we pulled into the valley. Just in time for a quick nap before church.
