Kayla turned 9 yesterday, and we were able to drive down to San Jose to spend some time with Chris and Lorna and the kids. It's probably hard to tell, but that's me with the orange hair. . .
Chris and Lorna have a great tradition of letting their children decide where the family eats out on their birthdays. This is especially good because their children have such good taste in food (I like it at least). Kayla decided we should all go to Red Lobster. Yumm! When the meal was over the wait staff brought her a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce. She was thrilled!
After lunch we hung out at home and watched as Kayla opened presents. Chris and I tried to get naps as we sat on the sofas. But for some reason we weren't allowed to be ignorant. We were asked to be sociable instead. What's up with that?!?

Ian and Kayla get to pet the lobster before we eat him.
Ian and Emmett playing in the fog of some left over dry ice, place in a pan of water. great fun.
We had a great time, and the trip down wasn't too bad. 2 1/4 hours down, and a bit more than 2 1/2 hours back. It was beautiful weather that day too. But mostly it was good to see everyone.
