Prickly Pear

My first prickly pear (cactus fruit).  We found two on our walk to Trader Joes, one with prickles and one without!  I wasn’t brave enough to eat them but I enjoyed cutting them open.

Carmel

Jenna, Jon, Caroline and Lucy shared a family beach home in Carmel with us this weekend – it was amazing!

Between beach runs, rock climbing, kite flying, baths and great friends – this place had it all!

Space Shuttle

Today we saw a space shuttle!  It was on top of a 747 on it’s way to a museum in LA.  This is it’s last flight.

(And yes, that is my son in pig tails – he wanted ‘fancy’ hair today)

Papa and Grandma

Papa and Grandma are in CA

and I love it! I introduced Papa to green food… and crazy long straws… no really… I mean crazy long straws.

Grandma tried her first wine tasting.

And I picked out new ‘fast’ shoes.

They are really fast!

We ended out time together with a birthday wish for all the birthday’s we’ve missed this year.

Happy Birthday to us!

Being Born

Myron: “Mama tell you about how I was born”

Mama: “Okay, it was a cold winter day in Wisconsin…” (I started our routine story about the day he was born)

Myron: “No not that story… Did they cut me out and sew you back up or did you push me out?”

Mama: (Pause… minor internal freak-out) “I pushed you out honey”

Myron: “oh, okay”

Airplane Play

Myron: “This is the Mama Airplane… and she’s the baby airplane”

Myron: “Time for baby to nurse” (and moves the baby airplane under the mama airplanes wing)

Papa and Grandma

Papa and Grandma are in CA, so we took them on one of our favorite day trips: Murphy’s and Big Trees.

Fun was had by all!
