California Trip Part 2

So after Darlene's wedding we went to my grandparents house to visit with them.  They were so great to let us stay with them for the night.  We had a great dinner followed by watching Russell be super cute.  Grandpa Tom blew up some balloons and Russell thought they were just great.  
 But once again I had a hard time choosing which pictures I was going to post so I just did a bunch.
 GG playing hide and seek.
 He was having the best time with those balloons.

LOVE his face.
 
 Look at how big his face is!!  Hello Charlie Brown.
 My grandma and I are clapping because he is doing his new balloon trick (the video that is  down a little further).
 Balloon trick in action.
 We didn't get a great video of his balloon trick but what we did get was still cute.  He would put the  tail piece in his mouth and smack it against his face.  It was so funny!

The next morning my grandparents had early church and we needed to head back home.  But there is always time for blocks with Grandpa Tom.
 Usually Russell will knock the tower down faster then you can build it.  But I guess he liked Grandpa Tom's so much he didn't want to ruin it.
 It took a little while but he warmed up and they had a fun morning.
 These blocks are the best.  If they get wet they stick to things like Russell's forehead. 
 Love both of those smiles!!
 One of Russell's favorite games.  Wearing mommy's head band.  Oh pretty.
 Thank you guys so much.  It wasn't much time but we will always cherish it.
I love that he looked at both of them.


We actually forgot to give Darlene and Mason our present but luckily they were honeymooning in Las Vegas (where would you honeymoon when you live in Hawaii?). So we dropped off the present at their hotel.  BUT it did take us 6 hours just to get to Vegas and drop off the gift.  It was spring break so everyone was trying to get back home.  Toby and I were snipping at each other pretty bad and Russell was getting so tired because he didn't sleep much in the car the whole trip.  So eventually we decided to stay the night.  I think it was a good idea.  We had such a great time last time we were in Vegas that we always want to come back.  We knew we weren't going to get that great of an experience but we at least wanted to go to a great dinner.  A lot of places won't let you take kids so we were limited.  We ended up in a buffet and I will tell you right now that is was not that good especially for what we paid.  WASTE of money.  But we did get to have a nice comfortable night.  We were all rested for the drive home.  As you can see Russell really enjoyed the view.  Poor Toby still had to go to work almost right when we got back.  But I think we still had a great trip.
