We met Steven, Martha and our grand children at a McDonald's on Scripts-Poway Parkway for many reasons like it was halfway between their home and Jill and George's home but the real reason was for the playground inside...
Jason was immediately on the video game...
...while Samantha sat with the adults before dashing off to the jungle gym tunnel maze...
Jason even found a friend to play with since Christian was already deep into the maze.
The nice thing here was that we had time to visit with Steven and Martha and it was a great visit catching up on the children and learning about all the things going on in their lives.
I did glance around and caught Jason listening intently ...
... and caught Christian landing for a few minutes...
It was great seeing Martha and realizing just how much her love for our son and their children brighten everyone's lives, including our own.
Christian was refueling ...
...as Samantha posed with Sharyn of a really sweet picture.
Finally after a long visit it was time to go and we said our goodbyes to our sweet Southern California family...
... but as always it's never enough time but always a joy.
Then it was on to Arizona and a look into the life of a Bingo championship team of ....
...Matt sitting next to his co-heart's mom Ruby ...
... and next to his favorite bingo gal Holly. I didn't get many pictures in Arizona because neither Sharyn nor I were feeling very well and I had come by a virulent strain of bronchitis. The visit was a nice one however, and we really enjoyed meeting Holly and her mom as well as Scooby, Lucy and Gizmo (nicknamed Spike) when he is rowdy. I can't tell you how hard it was to leave earlier than we had planned. We miss you guys!
