On Thursday, I got a call from my mom with some unexpected good news. “We’re coooommmming!” she announced. I guess Grandma and Grandpa couldn’t stand being away from the girls for one more minute (can’t say I blame them), so they decided to make an impromptu weekend road trip from Utah to California. They woke up early on Friday, drove straight through (with a stop at In N Out, per tradition) and made it here Friday afternoon. I don’t know who was happier to see who– the girls seeing Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma and Grandpa seeing the girls, or Jake and I knowing that we’d get a mini vay-cay this weekend!
Since we didn’t want to haul the stroller down the stairs, we took the funicular, which was like a greenhouse inside…ugh the humidity. Amelia didn’t seem to mind and thought it was all terribly exciting.
NOT Samantha and Amelia’s one year birthday cake, for future reference.
All four of us were practically chaining ourselves to Grandma and Grandpa’s car in order to stop them from leaving for Utah on Monday morning, but were grateful they had decided to come out. It’s amazing how much more energy I have during the day when there’s multiple people there to hold the girls and help. It was definitely a nice little re-charge to our daily grind.
So fun! Love the pictures of your parents! I bet they are loving being grandparents! And happy birthday to Jake!
