Day three: Went to see Grandma, visited for about two hours. She has Alzheimer’s so she didn’t remember me or know who the boys were but the was happy to see us anyway. It was nice to see her. On the way home we stopped to pick up a dozen steamed crabs!!! Got home Devoured crabs. Even Caleb had a few bites. Stayed up for a little while and had dessert, strawberry short cake!!! Bed.

Day six: Woke up at 5:15AM, boys dressed and fed. Left at 6:30AM. Almost made it to Dave’s Mom’s without stopping but Caleb had to go potty. There were no exits anywhere so he peed on the side of the road, gotta love having boys! Arived in Durham N.C. around 12:30 PM, ate lunch, boys took a nap, ate dinner, played, I think that was the night we watched a movie, bed.

Day seven: Took the boys to the pool, Caleb was scared of the water again but was getting better after a while.

Gulf Breeze, Fl 2009

We took a short vacation down to Florida with our neighbors about a week ago. It was the first time I had EVER been to Florida and I thought it was beautiful! Most of the time we were there it rained but it was still fun.

Bed time

Every once in a while the boys would completely
wear my Mom out. She would be sitting there with Leland
and just crash.


A pretty sunset from my parents porch.

The park

We went to the park almost everyday.
At first Caleb was afraid of the slides but he got used
to it and it became the only thing he wanted to do.

Peaches

Caleb just LOVED the peaches for Gram and Pop Pops trees!
One day I think he had 7 or 8.

Caught red handed!


Leland loved them too! He loves all food.

San Juan Capisrano Cont.

A new restored part of the mission. They were
doing construction on this last time I was there.

I believe this is part of what they call the
old church.

They would ring these bells to announce weddings,
deaths, etc. They had a different ring depending on what
they were announcing.

San Juan Capisrano

San Juan is one of the missions in Southern California,
it has beautiful foliage and architecture.

The fish in the fountains are very friendly, this one was
looking for food.
