Play, Play, Play

Oh Boy, have we been playing with during our grandparents' visit! 

We showed them our new favorite climbing structure in town. Check this out!

This park has a merry-go-round, too. (Last summer they took out the see-saw) 

We took a trip over to Super Franks and had a terrific day!

And, of course, we played at the playground, here, at Diablo Grande.

Happy Birthday, Grammy

Happy Birthday, Mom!

While Leslie Anne isn't here in California today, we are thinking of her as she and Grampy travel home. And before she left we had a little celebratory treat of ice cream cake.

She asked Livvy to help blow out the candles.

More Backyard Fun

We've had so many lovely days with the Grandparents, here! 

And lots of good fun playing outside.

Of course, plenty of riding bikes and digging in the their sandbox. 

Running, tumbling and wrestling in the lawn.

And a few happy picnics on our magic carpet. 

We even spent nearly all of Friday morning outside sprawled out on the magic carpet and various blankets, reading, playing, coloring; listening to the birds and basking in the sun and light breeze. It felt like a day at a resort! 

New Bunk Beds

One of the very first projects when Grampy arrived was to help build the new bunk beds! 

Oh Man, oh man! How cool is that?!

The girls had fun playing in "Jail" while other bits were being built.

and these are wonderful bunks - we are all so pleased -no one more so than the girlies tho'

Dinner at the Clubhouse

Liv rode her bike, the rest of us walked or rode in the go-go down to the clubhouse for some

putting, beers, and burgers.

A lovely evening!

Camila took this picture of Grampy:

Zoomy Girls!

Liv sings about being "zoomy girl" as she tears around on her balance bike! 

It makes everyone smile - most of all her! 

(Thanks, Dad, for this amazing shot!)

Camila is working on both peddling the trike and running on her balance bike, tonight was the first time we'd seen her go "fast" on the 2-wheeler. It was very exciting for her (and all of us, too!) She started singing about "Mimi-Running-Bike"! Then she switched back to her trike and sang about "Mimi-Peddling-Bike"! So stinkin' Cute!

Liv rode her bike all the way to the club house (half mile) for dinner tonight. Daddy helped her on some of the down-hill. And she started learning about zig-zagging down - or going across a hill as a way to control speed.

So Proud. So Happy.

So Zoomy!

The Eyes of a Child

Liv and Camila each took these pictures of their loving grandparents.

Wonderful aren't they?
