Dad and Sam meet...the Splash Pad

looks like the best conversation ever...Josh is a good listener

the water..was cold

what the?! Where'd Uncle Sam go?!

My Sam turned to me last night and said, "it was really nice with them here" It really was. The standard way family has been visiting is flying the redeye Jetblue flight. The price is hard to beat. You are flying through the night, and ya know, you say you'll sleep on the plane, but let's be honest, it is a little hard getting comfortable when you are in the upright position with no pillow, and a stranger on one side of you, or both, and part of you doesn't want to fall completely asleep for fear you might fall to the stranger side, or drool, or talk in your sleep, or miss your stop...ha, so the first day here is always spent easy going and getting some shut eye. 

When dad and Sam awoke from their beauty rest we went a grabbed a burger from Bobby's burgers. They have quite the selection, and they are de licioso (love Jim Gaffigan) cruised around the mall in a fire truck, where dad bought some shorts (hey! are those cargo shorts?!) and we went to the slash pad, and then to a friend's house who had the ole sprinker/trampoline thing going-a classic, so they got to meet some of my favorite girls of all time, and chat with them for a bit. I was happy they got to meet and talk with them actually, because they are my family out here, and my dad agreed I am very lucky to have such a great group of girls. 

So all in all the first day was a success!!
