Trip to California

This weekend, I took Alex to California to visit his other set of grandparents. I was very nervous because it was my first time to fly with him alone, but he actually did fairly well. TSA didn't even make him take off his shoes. Alex charmed all the flight attendents, shredded a few copies of Sky Mall and was otherwise a happy camper most of the trip. Between visiting with all the friends and family that wanted to see him, playing with his cousins Beverly, Courtney & Kendall, strolling on Poppa Bob's beach, toddling around with friends Megan, Molly & Whitney, playing in the sink with Poppa JR and eating blueberry pancakes with Grammy B, he barely had time to sleep but he had a blast. He sure slept soundly in his own bed last night though!

We were so busy playing and visiting (not mention having frozen bananas on Balboa Island) that we didn't remember to take a single picture. Luckily Aunt Nancy came to the rescue and took several... anyone who's been to Grammer Bev and Poppa Bob's knows just how appropriate this candy jar picture is. Their house has been described as "a gingerbread house with cinnamon buns hanging from the ceiling", and that's only a slight exaggeration. And the second photo is Alex playing with his "cousin" Beverly, who's three months older. Or rather, Beverly trying to get Alex to play with her!
