CA Trip - June 3rd

My, it's blooming! :)

Such unique flowers

Leah is here again! She's such a sweetie

Uncle Ken amazes and delights us with his true stories. 


Aunt Suzanne :)


Beth!

I simply adore the guest bedroom! Aunt Suzanne made the quilt on the wall. Any thing she turns her hand to turns out impeccably!


Trying to look innocent. ;)



A walk to the park! It's such fun walking everywhere.

Leah and the dog statue!


The rose garden is simply fabulous!


Smelling the roses...

"Julia Child"


A "bank" of roses

Smile for the camera, Leah! Her funny face.

The Japanese garden has koi to look at...

"There's one!"



Micah: "Those Chinamen must be short!" ;) ;) He's such a joker. ;)


Taking a rest

This vine was so neat!


It was lovely to see Mrs. Sly and Daleen.

Debs 

Cousin Mike

"Goodbye!"

We love all the old houses on 19th Street! Such character.

"The" Bridge!


A look back at the fun city, San Francisco

Now we're arriving at Grammy's!

Hugs...

"You've grown!"

Daddy shares an interesting idea.


Stephen telling Grammy about his duckies.




Playing...

Four-square is a major past-time at Grammy's!


Pretty much only once a year, the Wahlquists buy pizza... and Grammy's is the place we get it! 
I like the "Topposphere" mention in this "Pizza Geology." ;)

'Round the table...

We take turns eating outside on the porch!



Focused

Adorable

In Which we take a walk...

Ditto

I know we may seem annoying, but this is why we photographers sometimes lag behind or dart on ahead! ;) Most of the time, we're not rewarded, but every blue moon we get a chance like this, with backlighting and all...
I love how Beth's face is highlighted especially here.

Such fun to capture this shot -- they turned, and it almost seemed magical.



A very strange tree, with strange blooms!

Berries... non-edible, I believe

I love how wherever you go in Santa Rosa, the amazing high hills surround you...

The end of a full day!

Next post -- June 4th, four days into our trip!!
