All in One Night

We are watching Elise for the evening and in that short time we played in the fountain, played on the swing, helped Grandma make fruit punch for dinner, made cards for cousins, rode the bike, went to the park, took a picture of Grandma & Grandpa, saw a bunny and a rainbow, then came home and watched a movie. All from 5 to 8:30. I think Grandma & Grandpa were glad to sit and finally watch the movie!

Our Vacation is Over

Our last night here at the beach we spent eating at the burrito place, then took one last walk on the beach. It is bitter sweet as it was the best weather that we had on the beach. It was a fast 3 weeks, but all good things must come to an end. We are going to go to 2 quilt stores on the way home and hope to arrive home Sunday evening. See you soon. Betty

Beach Activities

There are lots of activities going on at the beach, we rode the carrousel, played at the beach, , made parade hats. We played games, and Matthew kept score on the computer. Who needs paper and pencils when you have a computer to keep your scores?

New Traditiion

At Easter we use eggs to spell out the year, so we know when we take the picture. So we decided to write the year in the sand when we take pictures at the beach to remember what year we dd what. This is the first of many to come. We went to Hug Point this morning and although it was cold we did have a good time.

First Night with the Grandkids

Naomi is a very trusting soul. She let Matthew bring her 2 children to spend a week with Grandma & Grandpa in Oregon & Washington. The first night we made Roxanne push Zachary around the lake, we introduced the kids to Budda, let the kids eat with their fingers, and let Rocket roam the park at night to find goodies. I don't think she needs to worry do you?

Will it all fit?

We are trying to get ready for a 3 week trip to Oregon. We have decorating stuff for Grandma's Birthday celebration, toys for the beach, crafts for the week, plenty of sleeping bags, and maybe a few clothes. It is all spread out on the living room floor, and I keep wondering if it will all fit in the car. And then I remember that Naomi is going to Chech Republic for a missions trip and she is only taking one back pack to last 2 1/2 weeks. This back pack also has to contain some of the crafts that they are doing for the camp. It is all perspective, but we may have too much stuff. I also

wonder if Naomi has help like I have? Elise is helping to pick out which dolls she and Roxanne will take to play with.

California Fun

Here are some of the highlights of our trip to California. We met Zachary, played tea party, went to a Noah's Ark animal exhibit, went swimming, met Wonder Woman,and saw Alex graduate. It was a fast and fun filled 2 weeks.
