Katie's Trip to California

On my way to California from Spokane, I made a stop in Albuquerque, NM to pick up my nephew Rohnin. We had a great flight full of snacks, Vitamin C drinks, and the movie Wall-E.

Isis was so excited to see her brother that she screamed and screamed when she saw him.

On the car ride home, Isis and Rohnin held hands and giggled making all of us smile.

Every morning Isis wants her Grandma, "Ya ya" to stretch. She pulls down the blankets, lays them on the floor, and guides Grandma into a stretch session.

We're going to the beach, beach, beach...

Isis and Hazel meet again and within an hour loved playing together.
