Visits

To the Ahmanson--Jess got free tickets to the Scottish Ballet's "A Streetcar named Desire" --
wonderful ballet and fun, fun dinner afterwards.





Kids and I went to the Long Beach Aquarium for a special meeting with the otters who had been trained to get food when they put a paw through the window opening.  This delighted the kids--





as did these hungry birds loving the sweet syrup in Max's hand--delighted and a bit freaky!!




Then a visit from Sarah and Alan and Christina.
Toby recognized all--and seemed very happy.


 

 I love these hands--sister and cousin and Toby, together through the years.



 
Thai dinner in beautiful downtown Burbank!




Saturday brunch with the PK's and Amelia.
