Disneyland

Catherine and Mary joined us on a quick trip to LA to visit Tommy & Jena.  Even though they've been on an airplane before they were little and can't remember it.  They thoroughly enjoyed it.

The first thing we did was eat breakfast at the Tavern.  Yummy!

We made several trips to the beach.  The girls found out pretty fast  how cold the Pacific Ocean is.  On this trip we saw a whale.

This cloud in the distance is part of the California wildfires.  Specifically the Thompson fire.

After arriving at Disney we immediately headed to Finding Nemo.

The girls loved driving the cars.  We all laughed and laughed.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle

Jena took the brunt of the water splash!

A visit with Mickey Mouse

The castle at Christmas turns into a winter wonderland.

Someone was ready to head home and go to bed!

Ater all the fun at Disney we headed back to Tommy & Jena's apartment the next day. We went out to eat dumplings.  Uncle Tommy is showing Mary how to use chopsticks.

Then a little bread pudding with ice cream for dessert.

A quick visit to the Santa Monica Pier.

We had a little spare time on our way to the airport and stopped for a walk through the Venice Canals.

A kiss for Grandpa!

Hiking in Yosemite

Steve, Tommy and 3 of their friends hiked in Yosemite this past summer.  (I'm a little behind on my blogging!)  They had a fun time.  It was exhausting.  It rained and hailed on them.  But the views were wonderful!

They hiked half dome.

Hiding out from the rain.

Hopefully they are going back in 2018.
