Grandparents Visit

 Grandma Penny and Grandpa Dave came for a 2 week visit after they had already been to Hawaii for a week. They are the summer tourists!  While I decided that we would have a lazier visit this time with less running around, that is not apparent in this blog post. While we did do a lot of things and saw a lot of sights, we also spent a lot of time sitting on the back patio and floating in a pool.

 Of course we saw a Dodger game!  We were there for 4 hours, and it was only the seventh inning. Dad and Lyman agreed that we could leave after the stretch so that we could be home by midnight. Milo insisted that he didn't fall asleep, but this picture shows otherwise.

 Another day we went to the Discovery Cube where we found Clifford and about 10 summer camp field trip groups. Live in the LA area? Don't go on a weekday in the summer.

 One of the best days was at the Science Center. We went for the Endeavor, but everyone wanted to see the Scrolls too when we learned thy were there. Well, there are 10 little postage stamp pieces of scrolls there and about 100 pots from the same era. There is a free Netflix documentary about the Scrolls that is more informative.

 The best part was this 3D movie about modern day Jerusalem and the three cultures who live divided there: Jews, Muslims and Christians. It was an amazing movie- a real education. The theater was full with all ages from 5-95 and silently attentive during the whole show.

 Another night, we celebrated a belated Father Day for my Dad at this Brazilian barbecue place we love. We also went there for Lyman's birthday if you recognize the dance costumes. We just stuffed ourselves with food, wine and music. It was great.

 One afternoon, we went out to visit some old pals of mom and dad's who have moved near here. Milo had a grand time since they are doting grandparents too and had lots for him to play with including this electric car. He's pretty sure our backyard patio is big enough for one of these too. Then one evening it was putt putt with Dad and Grandpa while Mom and I sat on the patio as the gardeners put in our own fake turf.

 Of course, the martial arts class continued while they we here. Grandma watched a few classes, and he also worked out a lot while he visited.

 One of our favorite things to do this summer has been to go to the water park with our pals. This time, we took Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma who couldn't believe she was there for 6 hours and how much fun it was!  We came home sun drunk, grilled another great dinner and sat out on the patio. I can't wait to do it again next year!
