We had expected rain the entire time we were there, but we had 3 days out of the 5 that were pretty sunny. It was raining a lot though, and we could tell there was a lot of flooding. We spent Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in Corning with David's parents. Then on Saturday, we went down to Yuba city to see his grandparents. His grandma is a hoot! She's a total Southern peach, so nice and with an adorable accent. She just loved seeing the boys. They ate a ton of popcorn and then threw fits because I wanted to take their picture. We took one anyway. Then we went on to Sacramento a train museum. The boys were amazed. They especially loved the upstairs, where they had some Thomas the Train tracks set up and a Lionel model train behind glass. Then we went on to Gregg and Crystal's (David's brother and his wife) where we had a blast ringing in the New Year. We had some fantastic fondue--neither David nor I had ever had it before. It was so good! I had to stop myself from eating the whole pot of cheese. I managed to eat only two pieces of bread dipped in it. I paid for it though, because Griffin was fussy. Then we played Apples to Apples and Mad Gab.
