Disneyland and Family.....The Best Combination!

These are some highlights of what we did this last week at Disneyland with our grandchildren.  We can't thank Liz and Hiriam enough for the wonderful four days we spent with them and the kids.  What a great time we had!  We made many memories with them. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel which was absolutely beautiful.  We had adjoining rooms and it was so fun when Micaiah would knock on the door in the morning and greet us with his smiling face.  But we got more of a kick out of the big kid that Liz turned into when you mentioned going to Disneyland!  Boy what a joy it was to spend some quality time with them.  I think Jehovah knew that we needed them just as much as they needed us.  

Liz really made this first Disneyland trip a memorable one.  She had tee shirts made for all of us with our names on each one.  Mine said "Grammy" and Kim's said "PaPa", Micaiah said "Prince Ya Ya", Micaelah's said "Princess Cae Cae" and so on.....
I made a crocheted hat for Micaelah and I also made one for her cousin Zaden.

Everytime I turned around to snap a photo of Micaiah he would make a face, so I told him that I was going to put it on my blog!  Isn't he handsome!  That's my grandson!!!!

See the girls had their tee shirts in pink and the boys had theirs in blue....

Cae Cae is flirting with her Pa Pa.......

Liz, Micaelah's mom makes this face when we mention the Disney character "Blue".  Micaelah is making her "Blue" face with her Pa Pa!

I had to get a picture of the headboards on the beds in the rooms.  They would light up and play music when you pushed a button.  They looked like the Disneyland fireworks!  Cool!!!!

Can you find Micaelah?????

Micaiah and Liz

Hiriam and Micaiah

Micaiah is having a blast!!!!

Cae Cae is giving me that look like she has had enough!  PLEASE SAVE ME GRAMMY !!!!! I'M TIRED !!!!!

We're going to DISNEYLAND !!!!!!

We are off to DISNEYLAND with our grandbabies!!!
I will have plenty of pictures to share when I return.  Here is the hat I crocheted for Little Miss Micaelah.  Oh yeah she will be stylin' !!!

Did We Mention How Much We Love Being Grand Parents?........

Micaiah called his mom and asked her if we could come and pick him up after school so that we could spend time with him.  We love it!!! So of course, we couldn't resist, and we picked him up.  Micaiah is doing what he does best at our house, taking over  Papa's  TV and eating  bean burritos.  And that's just what grandchildren are supposed to do!!!  Papa only gives up the remote for Micaiah, not even for Grammy!!!!

What????

Oh, yeah Papa is in LOVE!!!!
  and
 Micaelah loves her Papa!!!!

Harvest Time.....

I went out to water the plants this morning since it has been  REALLY  hot here in  Sun City and  I was pleasantly surprised by the abundant harvest that my garden has produced this week.  I have been neglecting it since we went camping and I haven't paid much attention to it.  But LOOK!!!!!! a whole lot of tomatoes, a HUGE zucchini, and a beautiful cucumber!!!! I can't wait to make a tomato, cucumber and red onion salad with our dinner tonight!

I can't wait to make zucchini bread tonight!!!!!

And as you can see my zucchini plant is not quite done yet!  It is still producing blooms and sprouting more zucchini!!!!! Yum!!! I'm going to make zucchini bread and freeze it for those cold days!!!!

And although I have neglected the tomato plants, they keep on producing!!!!

This has been one happy zucchini plant!!!!!

Even the impatients are happy under the crape myrtle tree.

I can't kill geraniums, they are the easiest plant to grow!

The ground cover is also taking off!!!!

More ground cover.

I think the Duck's would be so proud of his yard!  I could just see him up on the hill picking vegetables!!!!

First Family Camping Trip In A Long Time........

Korey & Summuer have been wanting to get our families together for a family camping trip since they got married  five years ago.  With all of us being soooo busy in our lives.....the only way to do it was to just make the reservations and to tell us all to "Be There".  Well it worked!   The scenery was just beautiful on the way up.  We started up to Julian area around 4:00 p.m.  The weather was hot as usual, but the drive was very nice with all of the windows open and just enjoying the breeze.  Korey did good!  Paso Picacho here we come!!!!! 

Korey's getting ready for our game of cards.  500 Rummy.  He HATES playing cards, but we MADE HIM HAVE FUN!!!!

We were terrorized by a gang of squirrels the entire time we were camping! The little buggers tried to get into everything!  They even ate a hole in Korey and Summuer's tent to get to the granola!  Here is one of those Brats eating a whole load of tortillas.

Summuer relaxing by the fire ring.  Waiting for our fire.

The next day we decided that we had enough of fighting the heat and the bugs and the squirrels, so we decided to go to the next campground over at Green River.  The trail is short to the water falls and the water was so refreshing.  It was just beautiful!

Ed & Andrew James are relaxing on the rocks, watching everyone playing in the water.
 Ed is relaxing......Really.

Summuer is having a blast sliding down a small waterfall into a pond.....

Summuer and Margaret are sitting on the warm rocks while their feet cool off in the water.

I'm going down a small water fall to get myself wet before I take the big  plung!!!

Korey and I a getting ready to make the jump into a pool of water below.  It is about like jumping off the roof of your house.  What a BLAST!!!!

Here we go!!!!!

Whooo Hoooo!!!! I did it!!!!  That water is cold!!!!!

THE WATER WAS SOOOO COLD!!!! BUT THAT WAS FUN!!!!

Our first family outing group picture!!!!

The scenery was just beautiful!!!!

We were so hungry when we got back and we made
chicken, brown rice, grilled veggies , beans and tortillas.

Our Campsite and my cute trailer!

Of course I had to bring flowers to adorn the table and the trailer.
 Tina Caprioti  taught me well.  I miss my Tina!!!!

My door was adorned with flowers, too.
