Grandma Steph comes to visit

This weekend Grandma Steph came to visit. We had soooo much fun. She came bearing gifts! My very favorite was homemade bottled peaches for Mason. He absolutely LOVES them! After a brief rest from the flight Mason and I treated her to lunch at The Cottage. Mmmmmm....so good! Then we went to the matinee The Secret Life of Bees. It was the cutest movie! The book of course was better, but the movie was great! There were some ladies that were sitting behind us that were making the funniest comments about the movie that made it that much better! Mason really enjoyed it as well. His eyes were as big as golf balls throughout the entire movie. I think he liked the gigantic people and bright colors :) We stopped by Bath and Body Works to get some good smelly lotion.With our purchase we received a stuffed animal sheep. It was the funnies thing! Mason loves that sheep! For some reason it always ended up standing on Masons head. Where did that sheep come from? Crazy sheep!

On Saturday we packed up the car and headed to the famous Julian Apple Festival in Julian CA. It's an old gold mining town that became famous for their yummy apples...which means apple pie, caramel apples, and apple cider. There are so many cute shops as well. The highlight of our night was the melodrama put on by town locals. You had to be there :) I think we may have started a family tradition to visit that cute little town once a year.

Enjoying lunch at the Cowgirl Cafe.

Sunday we enjoyed the Sabbath, Julian apple pie and ice cream, and each others company.

I've been kind of sick so it was nice just to take it easy and get some rest.

The next day was spent at Seaworld. We had fun seeing the polar bears, penguins, The Seymour and Clyde show, flamingos, hundreds of fishes, and the Dolphins. After a long day of walking one needs a good foot rub. So, onward to get a pedicure!!! Ahhh.....so wonderful!We had just enough time Tuesday morning to grab some breakfast and take Mom to the airport. Goodbye Grandma!
