Birthday Shopping

We took Grandson #2 birthday shopping last week. He is turning 2 and the one thing I really wanted to get for him was nowhere to be found. So Plan B was just go to Toys R Us and see what happens!

As usual, he took off running! We chased him but could barely keep up.

He was having a great time, looking at this and looking at that, and playing with everything he could get his hands on.

Oh, what is this? Something fun I'm sure!

He settled down in the train section and even though that is not what I got him, his Aunty Mary did get him a 4 set of Thomas trains and some tracks.

A very exciting birthday experience for a two-year old boy.

Ho'ike 2010

Every year we go the Ho'ike in Vancouver. It is held at Esther Short Park, a lovely place for a lovely day. There is hawaiian music and dance and food and we always run into friends.

It started off pretty cold. We had to bundle up and act like Jawas or at least like Hobbits. Brrrrrr!

My lovely daughter was lovely as usual. Everyone should have a daughter, it's part of what makes life wonderful.

Here is my lovely offspring #1 with her funny and adorable Grandson #2.

I tried really hard to take a pensive picture of myself but I just look goofy. I like my hair though. It is alway good-looking if I do say so myself.

Grandson #2 can always put his Grandpa Extremo to sleep.

I love pictures of them together. It makes me happy. They played with toys for a while, but Grandson #2 is a runner. It didn't take long for him to get up and take off.
But it was beautiful while it lasted.
