We hung out with the kids (older and younger) up on the hill, while Avdi went shopping yesterday.  I had a great time with the “littles”, mostly outdoors, while E got to talk to D&V.  Poor old Tia tried to lounge on the deck, while native butterflyweed bloomed below.

I believe I’ve earned my grandparent creds by allowing some very naughty grandkid behavior to go down while Dad was out.  Not intentionally, of course, but kids will be kids!  Dad was not amused.  I hope he will forgive us and allow us back.

Later, V made this pizza completely from scratch, and D opened her home-brewed European lemony drink.  Both were delicious.
