Grandma and papa came in on Wednesday night. We were all so happy to see them and Ella was so thrilled and even a little shy. We have been having a lot of fun. Today we went to the Academy of Science. This trip was more successful than the last 2 times we have attempted to go. We were able to go into the tropical rain forest and see the butterflies and to the aquarium to see the beautiful fish. We are already trying to plan for the next time we can all be together again. Possibly a weekend in San Diego. We love you grandma and papa.
On Thursday, grandma and papa came with me to pick Ella up from school. It was raining a little bit. Here are papa and Ella leaving school grounds. Ella is all rain geared up!
Here are the 3 beauties after a great lunch at the Nordstrom Bistro.

Ella, grandma and papa looking for a gopher. Last time we were walking back from the Academy, a little gopher popped his head out. This time, Ella was singing a gopher song to the tune of Frere Jacques. Guess what happened…
We got gopher!
Papa and Ella enjoying the gopher.

WE had such a wonderful time with you all. Sunny’s reading was fabulous. Ella was adorable and amazing. And Lauren, you are the best. Love you. Mom
