November 2009

With Mam and Dad in town we designated Fridays as 'Nan and Grandad' day. Cliona got to spend the whole day with her grandparents while Stephen and I headed off to work. The weather was nice and warm so they could go to the park and play out in the back garden - two of Clio's favourite things to do!

We also got to explore a little of Los Angeles - one day we headed up to the Griffith park observatory. Another, Dad and I paid a visit to the Huntington gardens and library.

Avery and Kat celebrated their birthdays with a 'Pump it up' party. It's a room full of different kinds of bouncers - so much fun for kids and adults alike.

Unfortunately Mam and Dad's trip was cut short so they did not make it up to Paso Robles for thanksgiving. We had a lovely time catching up with Chris and Kathy and meeting little Parker. We did a little wine tasting and got to participate in the town's annual light festival. Mrs Claus and the Grinch were there along with lots of elves and carol singers. Cliona even got to dance with some elves - fun times!
