VERY Busy End of July, Part 2

Our niece Maya Jean was born on June 8th and on Thursday, July 21st Grandma and Grandpa Rogers, and the 4 of us piled into a van to drive down to California to meet her. We officially me our precious niece Maya over dinner on Thursday night. She is PERFECT!

On Friday, Grandma, Grandpa, and the 4 of us headed to the Los Angeles Zoo! IT WAS GREAT! The zoo was the perfect size for us. We were able to get around the zoo in about 2 hours. Abby was so funny and really helped us to get around the park so quickly. As soon as we would get to an animal pin she would look at the animal for a moment and then say, "More animals" and off we went to the next pin. Here are a few pictures from the zoo...

As you can see...the girls had a great time at the zoo...

On Friday night we had dinner with Joe, Remy, and Maya...

Abby and Kera loved seeing their Uncle Joe and Auntie Remy!

On Saturday we headed to the beach for a bit. I love the beach and I wish Abby would of enjoyed it more but she was afraid of the waves. Jim tried to build a sand castle with her but she became too frightened. Regardless, it was a nice time in the sand.

After an afternoon of a few hiccups...we will let those be unsaid...we had a very nice dinner with Remy's mom, Soonie, it is always a great pleasure to see her!

And Abby got her teeth checked by Auntie Remy...all looks good!

On Saturday night I was able to get Remy out of the house for a movie! We say the final Harry Potter. Even though it was just released it was my second time seeing it. Jim and I were able to go out to see it a few days earlier in Vegas.

We initially were going to stay until Monday but we decider to leave a day early but, before we left, we were able to meet for one last breakfast. It was great that we had the opportunity to all be together.

Once we got back home to Vegas we had a few more days with Grandma and Grandpa. Those days were filled with them experiencing Abby's dance class...

And of course, there was pool time...

Thank you very much Joe and Remy for allowing us to visit and meet Maya and thank you Regis and Gwen for coming to town to see us. 

Next up, Pepe and Burrs come to town.
