a visit to rexford

What could possible be so great as to merit flying across the country (on a red-eye, no less) with two high-energy munchkins?

A visit to Grandma and Grandpa, of course!Upon arrival, we were a haggard (not like Ted) and disheveled bunch, but Pippin's enthusiastic welcome perked us up.

We timed the visit to coincide with the MD Grossmans and the boys had tons of fun frolicking around with their cousin Joey, who provides his own report here.



That's Uncle Josh rescuing Levi from the pond.



Apart from frolicking, favorite activities included boating on the Mohawk and the Alplaus, going to the great playground at Glencliff Elementary, reading Kipling's Just-So Stories, and getting ice cream at Stewarts.

It was HOT! We sought relief from the sprinkler-- something we can't (or at least shouldn't) do here in CA.
