CHA or Bust!

Oh my goodness! Shirley, Barbara, Molly, Aimee and baby Pyper headed off to CHA (Craft and Hobby Association)...super cool convention with all the newest scrapbook products! It is held in Anaheim, California. You would think it would be smooth sailing, but with four and a half girls, that's a no go. So we planned to leave the good QC about noon today, but uh...we had Burger King issues, totally spaced bringing the GPS (HUGE MISTAKE), and Aimee had to drop Gaje 2 1/2 year old off with his other grandma. Well, Molly is now going through aestetic school, and doesn't get out until 2:30 pm so no biggie, we were going to swing by and pick her up, and the boys (Kyle and Trevor) would bring her car home. Until the boys picked the car up too early, taking all of her clothes back to QC. Nice, huh? Then, Gaje's grandma had no cell phone and the plans to meet up with her got super confused. And Barbara (GGma) lives in Lehi... so well, you get the picture...girlfriends didn't get out of town until later than planned to say the least. But, with smiles on our faces, we headed for Cali, until one of us of course had to go to the bathroom. And GGma brought her GPS, but you have to hold the cord just right, and Aimee now has a permanently cramped hand for holding it for hours... lets just say she took one for the team. So, then we pull up to a scary town, you know the ones. Some homeless guy starts staring Molly down in the front seat, so we all decide to "not make eye contact" easier said than done.... he walks up to Shirley (pumping gas) and asks "I'm looking for happiness, you got any extra?" Right. And asks for a ride to LA. Wrong-o pal. So, on we go. After circling the freeways, around and around oh, and around we find our hotel. Great, so we go downstairs to ask about internet, to keep you all posted... and the ground is shaking. Literally. We were feeling a little tipsy right about now. GGma fends for herself and finds a pillar to stand by, where Aimee almost falls to the ground. We asked the guys at the front desk if they felt it...nope, just us....? Right. They kept asking us if we had a long flight... no, we drove....bumpy drive.....NO! Whatever. So, any who WE MADE IT! Be prepared to see the coolest stuff of your life this weekend!
