Around Sacto

Sac-a-tomatoes is a hell of a town, there's ice cream to the north, pancakes to the south and family all around.

Exploring yet another park

This was a really fun park day because Papi, Babicka and Uncle Richie all came along. Uncle Richie and SV climbed trees and pretended to be sleeping cheetahs. MV also did quite a bit of exploring. So much so that she fell asleep in the swing. She didn't stay asleep that too long though, and came out running like a little courier.

Fun at the business

Papi and the girls visited Babicka's yard. SV got to have some fun with the heavy machinery, while MV was happy to play with the dogs and Papi. MV really enjoyed his company, they share a passion for chocolate and water.

Baking with Grandama CeCe and seeing friends

SV is really enjoying baking so she was enlisted by Grandma CeCe to help bake some treats. She was quite helpful, although she always sampled the goods before adding them to the mix. After finishing with the baking, and once MV woke up we all went to see our friends the Dunhams et all. The kids all strengthened their friendship as they watched movies together and jumped around playing. Meanwhile the adults could have a bit of time to relax and talk among themselves.

Cheryl and the kids

The girls got to spend some with Eric and Cheryl. They not only had a chance to take in art, but also to make art themselves. Cheryl always makes sure everyone has fun and gets some tasty treats.

Amelia and Co.

A quick drive to Elk Grove let SV and MV catch up with their friends again. Last time they saw them was in Anaheim at Disneyland. They again had a good time playing, and this time MV got to join in a little bit more. It's cute how excited SV always gets about cake, and then she only ever eats a few bites because she doesn't actually like cake. She likes the spectacle and celebration though.

Hanging out with Rory around the house

MV and Rory played together, although MV did take advantage of her position and abilities to dictate how they played. After Rory went home MV went for a swim where SV joined her. Afterwards they both hopped in for a swing. Grandma CeCe and Grandpa Ron were most obliging in helping them have a great afternoon.
