On a happier note than my last post, our trip to Pasadena in the beginning of June super fun. It did our hearts good to see many of the friends we miss so much. We chose that weekend because Friday evening was woodworking class, a gathering of many of our favorite people. Plus, I wanted to see Cari’s reaction when we just showed up at her house. I know I would lose my marbles if she just showed up at my house; turns out she pretty much did the same. (Shout out to Rob for keeping the secret so well!)
It was a full house and I paid almost no attention whatsoever to the very involved project Rob had clearly put a lot of thought and time into.
I was too busy being a chatty distraction and taking pictures.
I was happy to see that Allen has taken up the job of woodworking documentarian.
The kids also spent some time goofing around.
Ezra and Jack made one project together instead of two, and they signed it.
The next day we went to Descanso Gardens with the Bannings. I think this picture kind of sums up everyone’s personality right now.
After Descanso, my family and I parted ways for the afternoon so I have no pictures of their activities. They went to the Heffernans for the afternoon, and the boys stayed for a sleepover (their first). Jerri sent me a few pictures.
Minecraft bonanza.
Blurry (always moving) Henry, Charlie and Finn.
Reading and laughing Lucy and Ezra.
I, on the other hand, spent the afternoon visiting Roseanne for a much needed haircut and color. Once that was done, Sherry and I went to the Kings game! Stanley Cup Finals, Game 2!!!
The Kings beat the Rangers 5-4 in double overtime. Best. Game. Ever.
The next morning we picked up a couple of happy and tired boys and headed to Hamilton Park for an impromptu get together. We were pleased and touched that so many friends were able to stop by and visit for a bit.
And then we headed to lunch at El Patron, where we ran into realtor extraordinaire Lisa Ashworth! After a hearty lunch, we hopped in the car and headed back to Nor Cal.
