many of the gerbers have started to gather here in san diego this week
for some fun in the sun and lots of family time.
grandpa john and sheila arrived from minnesota on tuesday,
heidi and greg from phoenix on wednesday, and trevor and his
family arrived from utah last night. tomorrow, chad and his family
will arrive from california's central valley.
c and i allowed the boys to stay home from school today,
so they could spend an extra day having fun with their cousins.
the last text i received was from my b-i-l saying they are in coronado.
driving over the beautiful bridge to get there is always fun for the boys,
so i'm putting this picture in as a placeholder.
{when they share a photo of their day's adventures, i'll replace}.
when i was checking in with my b-i-l,
he was in the midst of pedaling 4 kids {his 2 and my 2, in a surrey!
{after a morning run and this, he definitely got his workout in for the day}.
while the out of town guests spend their day enjoying the sunshine,
christopher and i will be working and wishing we were with them,
but we look forward to a weekend full of fun.
~ almost forgot to mention that c and i saw this musical a few days ago.
i didn't know what to expect going into it and it surpassed my expectations.
the musical is based on the real life story of conjoined twins, violet and daisy hilton,
who were exploited in a 'Sideshow' for many years until they left that life and
became famous vaudeville performers. it was fasinating.
you can read more about them here.
the women that played the sisters were nothing short of amazing!
they have such talent. a few of their duets were so touching they left the audience,
including me, in tears. we were all reminded that these two unusual girls still had
hopes and dreams of finding love and happiness like everyone.
