We call them "grand" for a reason...

My parents came to visit us in Cali!  We had a lovely week of taking them to all our favorite places around LA.  (Now that we are feeling like locals and all...)  It was so wonderful to see faces of family and do some fun things together, such as......

visiting the Vasquez Rocks like true Trekkies should....

 going to see the Endeavour Space Shuttle...

 the Tar Pits (but this time they took us into the museum!)...

 Going 'junking' in antique stores....

 visiting Leo Carillo Beach (my favorite in Cali so far)...

 the Travel Town Museum for my train-loving Papa...

The top of the mountain for the Griffith Observatory... 

 Don't forget the coffee!...

And picnics in the park.  Shew!  We had quite a week...and we loved every minute of it!  What fun to share God's creation with loved ones.  The kids had a blast getting spoiled by the grandparents...well, we all did for that matter.  :)  Mom and Dad left to drive back to Houston on Sunday and have made it home safely.  See you guys back in Texas!
