Weekend with grandma and papa

We have had a great visit with grandma and papa.  Ella spent the day with grandma on Thursday and then the day with grandma and papa on Friday when mommy and I were at work.  Last night (Friday) mommy made a delicious dinner – clams, crab, rice pilaf, asparagus…We all ate really well and then settled down for Friday night movie night.  We watched Ponyo which was such a sweet movie.  Ella loved it again…papa was very tired and slept through it.  Today, mommy had a meeting and I had to meet with one of my students to help her with an audition at the School of the Arts so grandma and papa went to pier 39 to the Aquarium by the Bay.  There are some new exhibits there and Ella was mesmerized by all the new things.  She touched a snake, watched a guy feed a turtle wax worms, watched a pink toed tarantula, saw a blue tongue lizard and just had a blast with grandma and papa.  Mommy and I met up with them at the Crab house and had a great lunch.  After lunch we came home, hung around, read books, relaxed and then went out to dinner with aunt Abigail and uncle Ray.  What a beautiful and full weekend.  Here are some pics.  Sorry if the captions are messed up.18.jpgPapa is in da house!24.jpg34.jpgDelicious dinner.43.jpgThree beautiful people.53.jpgNot such a flattering picture, but Ella took it so it’s sweet.61.jpgGrandma took this great shot of a ray.71.jpgGrandma and Ella trying to touch a ray.81.jpgElla touching a snake.91.jpg101.jpg111.jpgElla checking out all the different exhibits.  Check out the tarantula.121.jpgElla having a blast at the restaurant.131.jpgGrandma is the greatest.  None of us wanted to go on the carousel!141.jpgClassic shot at Fisherman’s Wharf.151.jpgElla and a giant gecko outside of the aquarium.
