This past weekend, Grandma Marty and Grandpa Dale came down to Pasadena for a much anticipated long weekend visit. We were given the extra special treat of having another special visitor make the trip with them - our niece, Kylia! Maddie was very happy to have all three of them visiting, and immediately jumped in with things to say and stories to share, from the moment we picked them up at the airport. :) That girl wastes no time!
On the afternoon/evening of their arrival, we headed straight for Santa Monica, for some California beach time. It was about 20 degrees cooler on the coast than in Pasadena, but it was still a comfortable temperature. So comfortable, in fact, that Kylia (age 7 1/2), did not hesitate to throw on her swimsuit and get all wet, even as the sun was setting!
Maddie adored having Kylia around, and was immediately requesting to hold her hand wherever we went. It was very endearing and sweet to see the two cousins reunited and getting along so easily together. Here are some picture highlights from our first evening together.
