California

Spring break fun! 

We got back to LA to visit Matt, Sarah and Sammy. We had such a blast. 

Sammy likes to honk people's noses

Sammy celebrates ALL the holidays. He had an Easter egg hunt which he found every egg. A few hours later, we had a passover Seder. (I don't have pictures of that but it was delicious and the company - Sarah's aunt and uncle - was all great!)

Stefanie made a sock puppet for him. He thought it was the he silliest! 

Not to get too political, but we couldn't pass this sign without a picture. 

shrinky dinks! He took video of them shrinking, but sat in the toddler chair to be at the right height.

Nearby home, there's a family with chickens - bock bocks as he calls them. We went and visited every day. We saw up to 7 chickens and this one came to say hello. 

Sammy liked to drive around the house "looking" for Mama and Dada. We couldn't find them! 

found you! 

One afternoon, the three of us went to Marina del Ray. We walked around and saw the sights. We saw animals like seals and even including SNAILS - there were hundreds. 

Naturally, we grabbed a few Geocaches.

After our time in Marina del Ray, Sarah took us out to lunch at cheesecake factory.

Later that day, an escape room! One of the best we've done. It was very creative and had so many puzzles that were not traditional combination locks.

We escaped with like 12 minutes to spare. 

We got to see Jupiter and her moons through the telescope. A sight not to be missed!

All good things must come to an end. We had an awesome visit and miss them already!
