Fairytale Town

Grandpa took us to a place called Fairytale town in Sacramento. It was fun to explore. Jessica was fascinated with these cut out deer, she talked to them and snuggled them for about 15 minutes. They had cute live animals too, you can see Jessica checking out some little piggies in one picture. She stuck her finger through the fence and the pig snotted it and then she put her finger in her mouth. (Swine flu?)



Ray and Rosemary


Grandpa Ray and Rosemary came over to meet Allison and see Jessica again. The girls kept them quite entertained... Jessica showed off some of the toys that Grandpa Jim got her.


Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Eric

We got to spend some quality time with my brother, his girlfriend Shauna and my sister while we were in California.







Jessica was quite infatuated with Aunt Lindsay and Shauna liked holding Allison.
Allison showed off her adorable smile like she was competing in a cute baby contest... she won first prize.

GGP meets Allison


Allison got to meet her Great Grandma Pat while we were in California. I forgot to bring my camera but still managed to get a couple pictures with my cell phone. Thank goodness for cell phones! We love you GGP.

Great Fun with Grandpa

We had a very full week with Grandpa while we were in California. I couldn't fit all the pictures comfortably on one blog so I split it up. Here are some of the miscellaneous pictures we got.







Grandpa trained Jessica on proper stair climbing etiquette and now I don't worry as much about our stairs at home because she has demonstrated competence.






Jessica insisted on swinging in the baby swing too. One morning she watched a full hour of Sesame Street while she swung.

Caper Acres

We always have to hit up Caper Acres in Bidwell Park on our trips to California. Jessica and Allison played with Mooma and Grandad while I got a nice run in. Then I got to play around a bit with Jess.





I got "stuck" in the dragon's mouth.
Jessica had a close encounter with a ladybug.
