A little R&R

We started a week of vacation on Friday and have been chilling all week. It has been great. I haven't been on the computer much and it has been nice. We got the house back to normal finally after the carpet install and moved the last box on Sunday. We chilled most of the weekend and just hung around town. We were able to go out and have a dinner without shoving food down our throats and taking turns who ran after Gavin. Thanks to my lovely Ipod, Gavin watched Backyardigans on the really baby tv. He even ate some of the dinner we bought him. He is growing up!

My dad and Lee got into town on Sunday afternoon. Dad was sportin a go-tee (sp?) and looked very hip. It was great to see them. We hung out on Sunday and chatted and played with Gavin.
Monday we went downtown and cruised around some of the local shops and had lunch at our local watering hole, Firestone. Gavin was a little less content at this meal but he did ok. He loves to run away from us though which I don't like. He ran away and into a store, bumped into a lady and ran around a clothes rack. That little bugger. He thought it was sooooo funny. I told Dad and Lee not to laugh when he came out of the store because Gavin would think it was funny. It was kinda funny actually. He runs down the street too and in front of driveways which makes me nervous sometimes so trying to teach him a lesson. We shall see.

Gavin's new phrase is "why not". It is still "I need that" but we have added 'Why not?" Gavin don't run away from me ..... "why not?".

After downtown we went to Avila and checked out the barn, got a cherry pie (yum) and took some photos. Then we made it to the beach. It was overcast but no rain. We had some good retail therapy and everyone came home and took a nap (except Gavin). haha. We ordered up some Woodstocks and did Christmas at Thanksgiving. I got dad a very cool wine gadget and he loved it. It made the wine taste really smooth. Gavin got some stylin outfits and we got a nice dinner out (PF Changs Gift certificate). Lee liked her scarf too. It was fun.

Gavin couldn't decide which name to give Pops. It was Pops sometimes and Papa some other times. We had a great visit and Gavin gave everyone big hugs and kisses when they left. It was a fun time.
