We got to spend a week with Eddie's Aunt Teresa and Sumer who were out visiting from Mississippi. We hadn't seen them in 5 1/2 years - but once they got here it felt like it had been no time at all. The kids started playing, we started cooking and the fun began! I have got a ton of pictures but am going to do my best to document our time without photo overload. Not going to be easy because we had loads of fun, I wish I could share them all.
Off for a ride up in the apple orchard - hold on tight!
This was Paula Dean & Martha Stewart preparing Granny's goolosh (however you spell it)- Eddie's favorite meal and the first one he'd ask his granny for every time he went to Mississippi.
A trip to Bodega Bay to play in the waves & sand
A little wine tasting
we even got Teresa to try some!
Dinner at Hopmonk while Billy was working
He even got to join us after his shift
We had plenty of time hanging out at the house. The kids rode bikes, played on the golf cart, jumped on the trampoline, scootered, played on the swings and in the sand box. We still have the huge wall Cooper & Sumer built, this was the beginning of their creation..
Sumer wanted to roller blade in California
We spent a quick afternoon in some antique stores (Sebastopol has a ton of them) and this awesome consignment shop - Sumer found some boots she had to try....:-)
OK- post one of our adventures....more to come!

This was another great day...I am using "great" a lot today on your blog. But really all the photo's bring back special laughs, conversations, goulash by Paula (I really have never seen Cameron in a trance like he was watching us make fools ourselves...Mama Mel included.) He was trying not to laugh but that didn't work. Trip to Bodega was entertaining with the surfers of course and the kids jumping off sand dunes and running along the Pacific....I had an awesome time with you guys and I hope we can get them back out here again in the near future. I don't know though; Teresa is scared to death of flying...but she and Sum pulled it off with a lot of prayers and holding on to each other. I couldn't wait for them to get here and I cried all the way home when I dropped them off at the airport...thank goodness I had to go to work! Thanks for the love. I will never forget us leaving Eddie in the truck with the kids while we went wine tasting in Freestone! (I laugh). Sending love north.
