California Details


OK, Dad wrote for the family blog, so I thought I would add a few details to his narrative. First of all, Ellie has the most VIVID imagination I have ever encountered. Spending a lot of time with her meant that one moment I was the circus announcer and then I was Megan AND Max (in Ellie's world you can be many people all at once.) We had a great time stamping and doing art together, and constantly imagining.



Now, a detail Dad did not share with everyone else: on the other blog, the photo that shows us on the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge, the beach doesn't look too crowded. Well, there is a reason! We were walking along on the wet sand to get closer to the bridge, when we suddenly realized that there were a number of naked men there...WHOA! Time to turn around and walk the other way! No warnings and no signs. A slice of life I (fortunately) am unfamiliar with!

that first photo of grandpa and ellie is adorable. I am sure you guys had a blast and we are glad that the timing worked out just right for you.

Glad you noticed the nakedness when you did and turned out... Smart choice!

The award!
