Malia was asleep when we arrived, but after we settled in she woke up and Oma enjoyed some time interacting with her.
Here's an overview of the living room with all the activity. Levi was immersed in the iPad.
Once Wes got home, we started on dinner. Joanie suggested Mazidra and it sounded good to all of us. Here is mom on lettuce duty.
The kids had a great time just playing around the house with all the (new to them) toys. Ellie found the car on the patio and had a blast driving it around.
Here is a shot of their backyard.
After dinner the kids had a turn playing with Malia. She was very curious about them. Ellie wanted to hold her constantly and by the time dinner rolled around she had held her about five times.
Levi was able to get some smiles and other fun expressions from Malia. He was very proud of that.
Time to pack up the Jeep for camping tomorrow! Wes had to pack up tonight since tomorrow he will have to work until 4 pm, then we're going to pick him up on our way to Manzanita. The kids enjoyed playing in the Jeep while Wes thought about what to pack.
My mom sat on the garage sofa with Malia and observed.
Levi found a bat and took some practice swings. Looks like he'll be a natural.
Ellie had another turn holding Malia. Her eyebrows cracked me up in this photo.
Before too long it was time to settle in for bed. Levi made his way out to the car to find his night-night blanket and curled up with it. Silly boy!
