Grandkids

I had this all prepared to post a month ago (which was still pretty late) and then did not get around to actually posting before our trip to pick up Joseph.  I will go ahead and post now and then start working on posts of our trip to Guam, Pohnpei and Oahu.

Neil and Ashley and their kids came to visit us toward the end of March for spring break.  At the end of that week, was Scott’s blessing.  Katie, Ryan and Lucas also came to visit that week.  I was able to take lots of photos of grandkids that week.  Here are some of my favorite photos of that week with a few at Easter at the end.

Charlotte loves to climb into and sit in cabinets.  This is her under our TV.

 Madoc looking at Grandpa.
 After taking that photo, I showed him the photo on the camera and zoomed in on his eye.  I told him that there were windows in his eye.  He looked at the photo and was very happy to know that there actually were windows in his eye.  This is what he could see.
 Madoc also liked playing with the noise canceling headphones.

 The next series of photos were taking at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.




 After the aquarium, we ate lunch and then stopped at the rocks on the beach next to the restaurant.
 Lucas sat down to play in the sand, but a wave got his pants.
 Sadie was modeling for me.

 We next went to Dennis the Menace park which is close.  The kids had a lot of fun playing there.





 After that, we went home.  A few days later, we went to Santa Cruz.  Charlotte was enjoying the ride.
 We went on a tour at the marine preserve, but it was raining a bit so Charlotte enjoyed the umbrella shelter.
 On the day of Scott’s baby blessing, Madoc was enjoying the company of a laundry hamper.

 The remaining photos were taken at John and Becky’s house on Easter Sunday.  Scott and Lucas were getting to know each other better.
