The April Adventure

I know some people are going to get their knickers twisted over how we,once again, ventured into the CA and DID NOT COME SEE THEM! Well people, we've got three grandparential groups in two cities, one baby with a nap and feeding schedule, and limited car action. We seek forgiveness. That said, here are some pix from the adventure. Just a warning, for the faint of heart, there is an enormous amount of Cheerio eating recorded here.
We arrived in Fresno. I was bored.

Lounging on Great Auntie Royce Ann
Oh God, he likes it.

Ah, but now he looks worried. There is hope.

Grandad's backyard farm. All in WA, please note this is April in CA. Why we live up here, I do not know.

Great Grandma Marsh and Sam

The bear Sam is playing with was one of many that my Great Aunt Geri Skinner made. Geri and my Grandma were sisters who married two best friends from Red Oak, IA. Geri's youngest daughter, Debbie, sent a baby hat to Sam that had been knit by her . I loved my Aunt Geri-- still love her, even though she's gone. Things like the hat and these bears make the distance a little less.
