California

well much to the surprise of many I'm sure
I was able to navigate out of Las Vegas and arrive in California
the real surprise is we made it all the way to cali before HRH needed to stop
so just inside the border we made a pit stop and oh excitement excitement 
this was waiting for us
some sort of lizard on the rock
Oh yeah
it was like a major highlight on the trip (for some)

but onward to grandmas


this was the first thing Alex wanted to do
play with the block
he had apparently been planning the castle for months
and of the 4 pictures I took this one was the most in focus 
(not loving my camera right now)

very impressive
every block was used

and in the morning the real work began
the cleaning of the pool
this one was very eager and worked very hard
but then he was the most excited to swim

 this one doesn't look as happy

 working hard
playing hard
but no supervision required 
on to walk around one of my most favorite places ever
my backyard
I still refer to it as mine even though I haven't lived there in 20 years
out of focus again :(




I might have to come back when these are ready!
see that yellow spot in the middle
bigger than my thumb
YIKES! 
I was NOT about to get closer
and I'm so glad I didn't because later a large yellow snake was found slithering thru the flower beds
oh the wild places of the central California

 Oh good still playing working hard
lunch break at the favorite Round Table pizza

 a new construction on the castle
and a nice game of  Wide World
I love this game!

 Not a bad first day!

Seriously your commentary gets me laughing! I always love seeing your parents' house and yard...many good memories there for me too. :)
