Just got home from a great visit with my kids, my grand kids my sister and 3 of my long time girlfriends.
I flew into Orange County and my daughter picked me up at the John Wayne Airport- can't believe that airport pretty much looks the same as it did all those years ago

when I lived there. First things first...we went to Target to pick up a Wii game for Kaleb and (2) 1-2-3 cookers, one for my daughter Kori and one for my son Tyler. Then we were off to pick up my 9 year old grandson from school, he had an early day and got out of school at 1:00. Had a wonderful time with Kaleb and my daughter Kori, of course Kaleb and I played the Wii for hours.
Later that evening we met up with my sister Sheila for a yummy Mexican dinner at El Ranchero in Costa Mesa.
The next morning we got up and went to the Butterfly House and Environmental Center in Newport Beach, a really nice place to take kids to explore and learn about our environment. Next it was off to lunch and miniature golf ...of course Kaleb beat us both.

That night I went to South Coast Plaza to meet up with some friends at the Claim Jumper and got all caught up on jobs, husbands and boyfriends - I have known these girls for 30 years ....man I'm old!!

Thanks Denise for getting everyone together it was like old times.

The next morning Kori and I spent the morning together doing the pedicure thing and then off to Starbucks for coffee and to wait for my daughter in law and my Grand Daughter, Kaitlyn to pick me up and take me to their house in Chino Hills. We had to make a quick stop at the grocery store to buy all the makings for cupcakes...what else? Kaitlyn and I spent the afternoon making cupcakes..she is at the perfect age for baking, we had tons of fun and laughs as we baked.

The next day we went to Medieval Times in Buena Park and were placed on the green team. I really thought this would be a little scary for Kaitlyn but she clapped and yelled for the green team for the next 2 hours.Our green Knight rode up on his white horse and threw a flower in the crown to her and she was thrilled and felt like a princess. She loved the show and said she wanted to go back for her birthday. She is such a good girl and did I mention how cute she is? We watched tv, talked, walked the dogs, talked, went to lunch, talked, went to the movies, talked oh and then we talked some more. Okay okay so she takes after me



Here is Kaitlyn with her new cupcake apron that Tanya made.
