Hemet Aquatics Complex

Towards the end of our two week trip to California, we went to Grandma Linda and Grandpa Greg's (my Mom and Step Dad)new house in Hemet. It was wonderful to see their new home and spend some time with them! On Monday we went to the Aquatics Complex and the kids had so much fun!
