My oldest son and his lovely bride, AND my one and only granddaughter are coming for a visit. They’re hoping to escape some of the heat of Austin by coming to Southern California. I hope our mild summer holds and that they can relax and enjoy the mild climate that we are usually lucky enough to receive.
Hubby and I have a long list of activities on the agenda but even if we only get to a few of them I’m certain we’ll have fun.
We’re thinking of taking Olivia to the petting zoo…
…and maybe the splash pad at the outdoor mall…
where there happens to be a carousel…
…and there will be lots of playtime at the park!
I’ll miss you and would like to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate your loyalty. Every comment you leave is like a smile that warms my heart. Continue to enjoy your summer and I’ll be back with an eye towards fall. It’s always a season I look to with glee. (Not the high school musical series). 🙂

Victoria,
I will definitely plan on taking some pics of my own. The kids are getting married in the African Mammal Room of the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. Should be interesting and fun.
Your pictures were absolutely amazing. It’s fun to share these life stories.
See you (figuratively) in September! I’ll still be reading my “must read blogs” and commenting.

Karen

The Natural History Museum will be amazing!! Weddings fall into the party category of your blog—right?? You’ll have to share some pre-wedding inspiration boards!

Karen…your wonderful blog will be missed until the fall but I’m certain you will have lots for your fans to enjoy when you return. You might want to take an extra week off for some down time from all the wonderful grandparenting adventures you will have with sweet Princess Olivia and just stare at the wall in solitude. I’m always knackered when my gkids leave and need a day of silence. xoxoxoCARLA

Enjoy entertaining your son and his wife and your granddaughter. Olivia is very cute. Whatever the weather, I’m sure you’ll have fun showing them around Southern California.
