Bob (Dad) and Charlotte

Today was a pretty exciting day! Denise’s dad and Charlotte came out to California for a visit during their vacation from Arkansas. They signed up on the lottery to climb Mt. Whitney and their number came up so they headed out this way to climb the mountain and visit us and Michelle and Fred. The original plan was for them to head to our place on Sunday, but with us coming back from Livermore that wasn’t going to work. So with just a little modification to the plan they came out today.

Unfortunately I had to work, but Denise and the kids had a good opportunity to spend time with them. It is always wonderful when they make the trek out here and it is too bad they were not able to spend more time, but they have a long way left to go on this trip.

They both spent a lot of time playing with the kids as Devin tricked them into helping him build his Lego Harry Potter Castle, which takes many hours to put together. They didn’t finish, but they put a lot of time into it.

After visiting for quite a while and me finally making it home we headed to Ramón’s for dinner for Mexican food. The food was pretty good today and everyone, including Desirae, ate way too much. We did the buffet and Desirae kept going back for more food so one can only imagine that she is due for another growth spurt.

We did let the kids stay up WAY past their bedtime because of the visit and Bob and Charlotte didn’t leave until almost 10pm, but it was really great to see them and I personally think it is wonderful that they make the trip all the way out here from there. Other than my mom they are the folks that come out the most.
