I have grandparents too

Sam was thoroughly confused when I said we were going to visit my Grandma and Grandpa during our trip. "We're already at Bube and Grandpa's house he'd say." I had to explain that I had grandparents too. Growing up, we'd drive as a family to Utah to see them and I have fond memories of the snow and family gatherings with aunts, uncles and cousins. However, several years ago, they made the move back to California to the city I grew up in. I love that I can see my parents as well as my grandparetns everytime I visit.

I really dropped the ball however when it came to taking pictures while we were there. There were so many people who I didn't capture. Eric, Harmony and their adorable daughter Skye were there. My aunt Riki, cousin Alesha were also there along with my cousins Patrick, Rafee and Aaron. My granparents; like me, like to feed the missionaries, so they were there too. Here are the few I managed.My grandpa loves his fruit trees. I couldn't possibly account for them all, but we did enjoy picking and eating plums and loading up on some lemons before we left. He takes a lot of pride in his property and is very generous with more than just his fruit. Both he and "GG" (Grandma) are some of the most giving people I know.My aunt Myrna is a riot! I think Benjamin agrees :) My cousin Ashleigh is in the middle of a couple of friends of hers. She just grdauted from H.S where she was a star athlete in volleyball, wrestling and track. She also excelled in academics and is tall, thin and beautiful. Did I mention we're related? :)
