Such intense work...

Awesome park with Pawpa

If Pawpa hadn't accidentally navigated us to Torrance, we would have never discovered this Fantastic Park!! (It's the Charles H. Wilson Park on Crenshaw. If you are ever in Torrance, it is totally worth it.)

These buckets and shovels from GG were WELL and often used in LA

GG Alice with the original grandchild.

Oh sweet family.

There's a lot going on here.

The definition of a handful!!

This was a cuddly good time...

Awww GG!! So great to get great grandma time in!!

Adorbs!! With GG Post Ocean

Being on vacation with Francesca at a park! 💓

Saaaaaaand!!!!

Happy kids coloring in LA!

An incredibly good time was had at the Ventura beach!

Pawpa and Daddy took pictures!

Uncle Austin would be proud

At Auntie M's and Uncles Les' house.

Blaize had a great time singing songs from this photo album.

He must have been occupied for 10 whole minutes like this.... Amazing!

GG and baby cousin Everleigh

Aged 94 and 6 months, respectively.

Family affair! At uncle Les and Aunt Marilyn's!

Uncle Les and Cousin Jo Jo!

Well at least someone was following instructions and looking at the camera!

Three generations, sittin' around chewin' the fat, watching' kids play

GG is super-fun and has the best small bubbles anywhere!

Francesca is kind of an expert

Blowing bubbles with GG and Nana and Pawpa!

Soooooo cool

Duck feeding master Blaize

So much fun feeding corn to the ducks with Grandpa Floyd at Great Grandma Joann's house!

We're on vacation! We're wet! Hooray!!

We are very busy.

Kids at the Kings River, in Reedley

A few minutes walk from Grandmommy's house, a few minutes before Blaize got completely soaked and Francesca got merely medium soaked.

Charlie the white lab and Blaize

Who is walking who??

Playing the nonsense word game on the drive from Sacramento

Wiiiiiinnnniiiie......

After a splash or two or 12 thousand in the kiddie pool, we watch Winnie the Pooh and chill out before a no-doubt-delicious-and-nutritious meal cooked by Grandmommy....

OMG what a good lookin' bunch!

So Great! to see family and be reminded of the incredible importance of air conditioning...

Wheeeee!!!!

At Sacramento's Witter Ranch park

Trying to get in to see where Carmina Barana was performed

Scott and kids watch this performance at UC Davis on YouTube all the time. But it's closed! We requested a free tour on the tour request line but they didn't call us back immediately. Oh well. We are ON VACATION!!!!!

I've got a lot on my mind.

Aaaaaaaa!!!!! I'm melting, I'm meeeeellllting!!!

Suh. Cute.

It's July. That's all I'm saying.

What happens when you go downstairs for 3 minutes

Blaize gets in the bathtub fully clothed, turns on water, gets self completely soaked-including head bandage that's not supposed to get wet- starts scrubbing the tub. OK, it's cute, but still!

Good morning from serene girl.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone this week!!!

A happier boy, head wound or no, was never seen.

This girl is her own action figure.

Excuse me while my hair touches the sky.

Another day at the wonderful Kari park!

He's got a special technique.

Mmmmm bedtime special treat honey yogurt....
