JO VISITS FROM ALASKA

Aunt Jo came to visit us all the way from Alaska. And when she did, she brought Sofia some Alaska animal toys . . .
She also brought the most beautiful fairy dress ever . . .

While she was here, we asked Meredith if she could meet us for lunch in the park . . .

Ah, nothing better than an afternoon read in the backyard . . .

Aunt Jo had never seen "Cars", so Sofia got to share her favorite movie . . .

. . . and Aunt Jo really knew how to get Sofia laughing . . .

Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum just opened it's new building, so we spent a morning going to see it . . .

. . . followed by a walk along the river over to one of our favorite places to have lunch . . .

On Sunday, Meredith, Clyde and Sofia came and spent the day with us and we all played Wii . . .

We were even invited to sit in on a swimming lesson . . .

Couldn't pass up a chance to take a wagon-walk on the creek . . .

While spending some time with Mom at her new house, Jo discovered an old favorite album she thought was gone and forgotten . . .

Thanks, Jo, for making the time and the long trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it and miss you.
