Back to reality

Life has been crazy since we re-entered reality. Our vacation was REALLY nice! Mom was especially happy to see us as were the kids :o). We got right back into the swing of things, but had a nice treat on Friday night. We got a babysitter and went to the Children’s Museum donor dinner for Ryan’s work. It was a nice presentation and Kristi Yamaguchi was there accepting her award for her work with children. Steve Wozniak made a surprise visit and they did a little Q&A which was entertaining. The food and wine were fabulous and mom and dad were happy to go home with a signed book and wine openers that they “stole”. Gotta watch those two……

They had just told me about their loot:

Sat. we checked out green almonds at our neighbors prompting. We weren’t quite sure how to eat them, so we googled it and found out you are supposed to eat the whole thing. It was interesting, but I’m not sure you’ll find us on Almond Ave. anytime soon. Reggie had a baseball game that afternoon and we almost fell asleep. The kids pitch, so things don’t move all that quick. Thankfully, Reggie hasn’t gotten beaned yet.

Gma and Gpa left early Sunday morning and we had 3 days to get organized and back into our routine before the Rinehardt’s came! We miss Grandma and Grandpa….for us it seemed like a quick trip….for them, probably not! Way too much excitement.

Grandpa taking it easy after working so hard on our yard. It is a bit overwhelming for us and we are very glad to have some help!

The kids having a snack at the Bass Pro Shop in a tent....pretty sure that is against the rules:

Hanging out at the hotel in Monterey-thank goodness grandma brought a bunch of Scooby Doo DVD's because there was a lot of t.v. watched:
