Summer Vacation Part 3: Southern California


Lancaster/Valencia here we are!

We got here at 12ish i believe on Monday the 7th.  We hung out and RELAXED.  It was very enjoyable.  We spent a lot of time in my dad's backyard.  Him and Meg (Step mom) re did the back yard and it was not all the way finished yet but it was still very pleasant to relax in.  Brooklyn helped Grandpa put up wind animals?
She very much enjoyed watching them move in the wind, They were alive. :)

She spent a lot of her time out side, so much to do.  She played with the dogs, feed the fish in the fish pond, played with the dogs, and swam.  One thing about Brooklyn is she LOVES dogs. She honestly adores them, it was so cute cause she was very comfortable with them.  My dad had 4 dogs all pretty good size and like people they play, the dogs bark, run and jump on each other.  Brooklyn would watch them do this and then try to join in with them. she would run to were ever they are and just watch up close.  

We were just kind of goofing off. 

This is Annie, Megs daughter, she was visiting the same time we were, so we got to enjoy her company and get to know here more.  Brooklyn once again really like Annie.  

My dad put together a play house for brooklyn.  And boy did she Love it.  Annie, Rayna (my sister, but no picture) my dad and i colored the house for her, flowers, picnic benches windows etc.  She very much enjoyed going in there with toys and peeking up from the roof. 
All smiles
Brooklyn letting the dogs smell her hand.  She learned a while back that she has to put out her hand for the dogs to smell her.  So she kept going up to the dogs and either two things. 1. Letting them smell her hand or 2. tried to bend down and give them a kiss on their noses.  I thing she got a few. :)
In the middle of the dogs "playing"
Grandpa and Brooklyn enjoying some time together.

Next up was to visit my mom and step dad for the weekend and head home.
We went to a fun and yummy BBQ place Friday night.  Brooklyn kept on dancing for the waiters.  What can i say, its in the family?  Then Saturday we went to City Walk at Universal Studios and enjoyed the sites. My mom and Brooklyn in front of The Hard Rock Cafe.

 Brooklyn and my mom reading Books.  One of Brooklyn's favorite pass times.  My mom got Brooklyn 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed book and she loved/s it.  My mom also just got back from Italy with my grandparents and her siblings and she brought us back some goodies.  I got a beautiful necklace from Molina, and a mother daughter necklace as well.  

Left to head home on Saurday night around 8:30ish and arrived home at 8:00 am.  Thanks to eric for driving most of the time, i love you baby!
