Marathon Weekend Feb. 2-5


Gavin picked the girls up Thursday night at LAX, then to avoid traffic, they went to dinner and then came to Natalie's. Natalie had a fun morning planned. It took us a while to get dressed as we spent most of the time talking and laughing. You know how we all are when we get together. Just wish the rest of the family was here.



We were able to visit one of Natalies friend that has an orchard. We picked oranges, lemons and grapefruit. There was a pomegranite tree but the fruit was too old to pick. Just fun seeing the trees though. This is always fun to pick tree-ripened fruit.



This was just a cute picture of all four of the girls. Brooklyn acts just like one of our daughters.



Natalie has oranges and lemons in her hands. We have been on a zip-line from the top of a hill to the bottom. That was an added bonus to our day. All of us had a ride.



We wanted to shop at the Promenade Mall just a mile down the road. They had a hat Keosk on the way in. Music playing in the background and the sun is shining. What a fun day to play with the girls. Don't they look cute in their hats. I think everyone bought a new hat.



We did have fun trying all the different kinds and styles on.



Sure are pretty girls we have, Mike.




These are great memories to for Camille and Brooklyn to share with each other.


Girls are resting and waiting for Michelle to come.


We switched photographers.


We are entering the area that Camille and Brooklyn will be registering for the marathon. The Beach Boys music is playing in the background. The ocean waves are pounding on the sand. Mike and I pose for a fun picture. Yes, this is the life.


We have been for a walk down the Pacific Coast Highway with Natalie, Gavin and Michelle. Camille and Brooklyn have been getting ready for the race. So we are waiting at the Hyatt restaurant for everyone to come and join us for dinner. Yes, this is a fun place for pictures.


We love taking pictures of each other. Michelle ran up so the room to check on the girls. Gavin and Mike are always good sports waiting for us to eat. The food smells so good.


The food was delicious. We occupied this table for a couple of hours. We visited like we had not been together for a very long time. Some of us had all-you-could-eat. So we did.


This is Sunday morning. We wanted pictures of the resort. Michelle took pictures of us.


It is always fun to get pictures with my girls. We took so many, and wish we could put them all on the blog.


The sun feels so good. Camille and Brooklyn did such a great job in the marathon. The warm sunshine feels good to all of us. We have a few hours before we have to check out of the hotel and Gavin and Natalie will be taking the girls to the airport.


Sure are pretty girls. So nice of Camille and Brooklyn to have invited us to their Marathon. It is always fun to get together.


Mike and Gavin are good sports while the girls play.


It is always fun getting funny pictures. Wish I could put them all in.


Wait, Camille and I want our pictures taken.


These are great memories.


Brooklyn wanted to run on the beach before we had to leave. Michelle and I went with her to get pictures.







We are getting ready at the swimming pool bathroom and shower. They will be leaving in a few minutes. We have had wonderful days playing with each other. Thanks to Natalie and Gavin to let us stay at their home and take them back and forth to the airport. The Marathon was fun to see and proud of Camille and Brooklyn to be a part of it. We are always thankful for our family and love the memories we share with them. I hoped they soaked up enough sunshine before they had to go back home. We sure did miss the rest of our family. We talked about a family reunion here.
