I have been hoarding our tax return so
we could make a trip to see our California
kids as soon as an opportunity presented itself...
and blessed Utah Pioneer Day made it possible!
I had Monday, July 25 off and with never working
Fridays...I jumped at the chance....4 days off!!
(In fact, I even took one more day and took
Thursday too!) Five glorious days to spend
with the kids I see the least....
That's right....he REALLY is this cute!
Brig has grown by leaps and bounds
since I last saw him.
Good news...he still liked us!
Paige, Brig, Asher and I made our way to
the Windsor Farmer's Market while
the men were golfing.
They live in a delightful place!
One day we drove out to Guerneville where
the Williams kids vacationed in the 60's.
We found Howard's old place and
did a little walk down memory lane!
Then we wandered down to the Russian River
at Johnson's Beach where we all
enjoyed a wonderful afternoon on the water.
This place is like stepping back in time...
it has a board walk, a beach, canoe rentals,
inner tubes, umbrella rentals, paddle boats,
a snack shack where you can buy
hamburgers for $2 and ice cream for $1.
Some one forgot to tell them they are in California
and they are supposed to raise their prices!!!
Poor Miranda was recovering from a TERRIBLE
allergic reaction to Benedryl that just about
sent her to the hospital. It took her several
days to get back to her usual self!
It was a terrific time and we could have done it
all over again the next day!
Nate and Paige had a business dinner/overnighter
in the city so we got to keep Brig overnight.
Bryce and Lisa hosted us for a BBQ
at their new home. Brig and Champ were
our entertainment!!
Great food, great company, great evening!
Windsor has a town green and they were
doing Shakespeare on the Green so we
met up there one night. Brig joined us until
Mike and Nate finished golf and then he went home
to bed with Daddy....
Bryce and Lisa came fully prepared with
table, chairs and refreshment!
It was a three man show and absolutely delightful!
Fun, fun evening....
As always, it comes to an end WAY, WAY too fast!
We met up for lunch at this wonderful french cafe
before we had to catch our flight home.
Miranda in her Annie Hall look...
wish like everything that I lived closer to this girl!
We tried to fit Brig in Mike's suitcase and
he was a willing participant.
But Paige said NO...
Here he is chillin' on the way to the airport in
my sunglasses and Grandpa's headset.
He is one delightful and charming little man.
Who told these kids it was okay to move away????
Until next time...
LOVE YOU, MY CALIFORNIA KIDS!!
XOXOXOXO
come back :(
