Oh, Such Fun!

Oh my goodness - we have had such fun in the last few weeks!! First we went down to Computer Guy and Darling Wife's home to spend the day visiting and playing with MissC - she was, as usual, adorable and we really had a nice day! We took my mom and spent most of the day, walked to their favorite mexican restaurant for dinner, then headed home. Granddaughters are so much fun!! Hubby always wanted a girl, but we had 2 boys. Now he is getting his wish! We have 3 granddaughters and 1 more on the way!

In early May we popped up to our Northern Retirement State to visit Morning Glory and family - we cruised past our house several times during the weekend and peeked over the fence! Everything looks good - it appears that our renter is taking care of our house for us - at least the outside looks neat and well kept! We also took a drive up into the mountains to visit a beautiful ski resort - it was such an incredible drive - and we make several stops along the way. There is a beautiful lake where MG & family have spent many happy vacations camping - we even camped with them there several years ago. It's a place we will definitely go back to after we move!! I think MG posted a similiar picture - but it is so pretty I know you'll enjoy it again!!

This last week has been very fun! My brother and his kids and grandson came down to SoCal for vacation and on Tuesday we took off and went down to Sea World with them. CG and DW have season passes so they came too! This is MissC feeding a fish to the seals - they come right up and take it out of the little tube! They were funny and verrry noisy!! At the end of the day we got to see the Shamu show - wow - who knew killer whales could be so gracefull! It was a beautiful show and MissC enjoyed getting a ride on daddy's shoulders!

We had another visit with CG & DW and MissC yesterday - they drove up and we met at Disneyland! We all have season passes, and before we are blocked out for the summer season they wanted to bring MissC up one more time! It was soooo fun! It was beautiful weather and the park wasn't too crowded! We rode Dumbo and the Merry-go-Round and Small World even got to meet the princesses! It was a super day!

While we were waiting for our table for dinner in California Adventure Sean Astin and his group walked by and up the stairs to the roof-top restaurant and a few minutes later Valerie Bertinelli and her group showed up too!! Disney provides escorts for the famous types - so no one bothered them - after all they were just families enjoying the day at the park too! But it was kind of fun to see someone we actually recoginzed!


So back to work today - Let's see - what are we going to do for our next "play-day"??!!

I came over from MG (SIL) to wish you a happy birthday. I can't believe you're moving to Northern Retirement state - what a change for you!

I appreciated your comment to Kevin when he and I were doing our series of his journey through addiction. Did you get to read it all? What an awesome story.

Have a great day!
