One of the great things that came with me not moving to LA is that I get to still go on random driving adventures with my brother. It’s one of the things that helps us bond and in a way getaway from the stress of life. He loves to drive and I love to take photos so we hop in the car and drive somewhere (usually somewhere we’ve never been before), take photos, and find a place to get food.

This time we went into the canyons around Brea and saw some beautiful houses and even some cute horses!

 It was a beautiful day and a great adventure. I highly recommend when you have to many things piled up or you just need a quick vacation that you jump in your car with people that make you happy, roll down your windows, and drive somewhere you haven’t been before. Let the fresh air flow through the car and don’t be afraid to stop along the way to see new places.

And by my kids I mean my Sunday School class of course. Let’s rewind a bit to the beginning… once upon a summer our church needed someone to teach the crafts class for VBS {vacation bible school} and although I was a bit scared to do it I decided to give it a try. That summer I taught many craft projects for kids at a variety of ages from preschool to 5th grade and had a blast getting to know them and their fun personalities. After that summer was over I still wanted to be involved with the kids and decided to co-teach 3-5 grade classes at Sunday School. At first I was scared (the younger kids were always easier to teach since they can be distracted easily and tricked :P) but at this age they act differently. They want to be independent and love to test the teachers haha. There was a point where I wanted to give up but as I got to know them individually I can honestly say they are great kids. I love to see their personalities shine and to hear what they have to say (they’re creative little critters). I’m so thankful for them and for what they have taught me. I’m also very thankful for Ramona, the main leader of our class. I’ve learned so much from her as well, and from her kind heart and patience with the kids. She’s helped me grow as a person and thank God for her. :)

Last Saturday we went of a field trip to Disneyland with the kids {yes all 19 kids} !! It was a hectic, draining, beautiful, happy, smile filled day and well worth it. I loved getting to know each child and seeing their joyful faces being at the ”happiest place on earth”.

Here are some photos of the day; 19 kids + 6 adults + disneyland = beautiful chaos
