Livermore

Hey, MaryAnn, I'm not sure that's how that goes..."Arrr...matey!"
There we go...We went to play in Livermore. Took some shots of Shelby while Shae, Harper & MaryAnn were window shopping.

"The Mountain"

Shelby wanted to show MaryAnn his "mountain." So, we walked up the hill to play in the field the Jones family frequents so often.Watch me, MaryAnn!Now you see me...now you don't. Shelby kept vanishing in the weeds. Thank goodness I could see my tall niece!Shelby spent most of his weekend just chasing after MAWJ.MaryAnn got a boo boo on her knee and Shelby had to kiss it to make it all better.

Beach Pt 2

Harper taking photos...
This bird was hysterical! It stole someone's bag of carrots and ran off. Then looked at me like, "what you gonna do about it?"
Taking off with it's loot.
LOL!!! Okay, I thought this was hilarious. Cold, MaryAnn?
Shelby took a dive in.Take my hand, Shelby, I won't let you fall.Awww...aren't they cute.
I had to run back to the car for the video camera, but loved this shot from above.In Monterey after dinner. Miss Sassy PantsEw!

Monterey Beach Pt1

Okay, you're going to hate me by the time I finish the beach shots from the Jones' visit and after the Aquarium, because there are lots! Here's a few...

This starts a little string where the kids figure out the water will come after them. Shelby doesn't hesitate..."I'm outta here, MaryAnn!"

"Whoa! Wait for me, Shelby!"
"You comin' or what, girl!"

This pic cracks me up because it's like they're dancing in a club...

Sweet kids...

Monterey Aquarium

I'm going to have to recap Shae, Harper & MaryAnn's visit in a series of blogs. Today, you get The Acquarium in Monterey that began our trip on Friday, March 26th.These two were so inquisitive.
Ciotka did her best to teach and point out...
But their favorite was this wall/tunnel you stood under and the water would build up, then come pouring down. It cracked them up every time.
Fun light up stuff...Cute cousins...day 1 and getting along...
