March 13, 2001 - Dinner at Albert & Stella's

Today we went out for breakfast, went car shopping and to the store.  We almost bought a Dodge Caravan and drove home.  However, we would have taken a few more days to get home and we know everyone can hardly wait for Thursday as it is.  So we tried talking Uncle Jimmy into buying another one, no go.  After our naps it was off to cousin Albert and Stella's for dinner.  Mackenzie fell in love with the Pool-We will have to come visit in the summer so she can swim.  I think Mackenzie had her first crush on little Albert, she wanted him to hold her and called him chickenbutt.

Uncle Jimmy, Stella and Shantel (?) in the kitchen.  We were able to snap this picture before Stella realized what was happening. Here we are outside, the girls were in their glory all the Californians were in the house freezing.

Mackenzie was playing soccer with little Albert. Cousin Albert and little Albert and Mackenzie.  Oh my God I think Uncle Jimmy has a cup of coffee, I think he started chocking shortly after he took the first drink!

Stella and Uncle Jimmy on the front porch.  I hope their heating bill didn't go sky hi since we left the door open most of the evening. The Albert Romero gang.  The one on the left is Michelle (?) ( we asked Uncle Jimmy for help spelling the girls names).

In our car seats going home for the night.  The van is nice to drive around town, Mackenzie thinks its a little play house because it has a TV set right in front of her.  Madeline has adjusted well to her car seat.  Everyone in California says hello to everyone in Denver.  Mom I have a gift for you from Stella and Albert.  Tomorrow we are supposed to go to Mountain Lakes where Uncle Jimmy has a lot.  I guess we can fish, or just play.  But Uncle Jimmy keeps saying "pretty soon"  what does this mean?  Carisa I thought about you when we passed Verdugo Country Club.

P.S. - I miss Group 255 especially Phil.  Hey Phil if you read this I'm having Dove bar withdrawals.  I still have the Clif bars!  Once we get back home can you drop us a few bars at the house?

 
March 14, 2001 - Mountain Lakes Day
Today is Mountain Lakes day.  The girls had a great time, we drove around and played at the play land and had a picnic.

Madeline and mommy shared a bed, or Mommy got to sleep on part of the bed. Daddy and Mackenzie shared a bed.  When we get home we're going to have to get a bigger bed.  Do they make anything bigger than a king?

I should have put daddy with both girls so I could have a bed to myself. Mackenzie playing on the equipment at Mountain Lakes Resort.

Watching the girls play.  Mackenzie had lots of sand in her diaper and hair.  Madeline loved grabbing at the sand.  She also loved the slide.

 
March 14, 2001 - Mountain Lakes Day
So how did she get the sand in her pants, I wonder. Uncle Jimmy took us for fish tacos and Mackenzie loved dancing to the Mexican music.

Dancing to the music.  Mackenzie looked like a Trinidad kid, dirty and having a blast.  For those of you who want to greet us at the airport we will arrive Thursday March 15 at 14:30, Frontier flight 536.  Mackenzie has been asking me what color her room is, she misses her room.   Mackenzie is looking forward to having ice cream at the airport.  Our time in California has been a godsend.  I think the girls internal clocks are adjusted finally.  For the most part they sleep through the night.  I think we will be ready for all the airport greeters.  The honeymoon is over Rhonda.  I enjoyed my trip this year and I'm not desperate to get home because I know room service and laundry is over.  Rhonda, I'm already envious of your trip in June.
