Old friends

After skyping with her BFF Hannah, Isabel got to work making lots of artwork and cut outs for Hannah. Not quite sure what Hannah will do with all this paper when she gets it! But she certainly made a mess. Last weekend we hit the road and met half way in our old stomping grounds to meet some friends. Krey and Laura were our first set of friends in Cali. We met them when we discovered that someone kept stealing all our moving boxes that we were trying to recycle. They moved before we had a chance to meet their babies.....who are now 4 1/2.

Isabel, Claudia, Samantha and Kieran all hit it off right away. Here they check out the zoo animals.

Adam, Laura and Krey discuss Cali state budget issues.

In the hotel room, i had a photo shooting with the girls.

Claudia as a rock star.

The loving siblings.

The big sistah.

It was beautiful weather and we went to a rooftop restaurant where we had outdoor seating. Great food and good friends.

Our view at dinner.

Krey, Adam and Laura enjoy the view.

The next day we went to the butterfly exhibit at the arboretum.
