Visit to California

Last weekend we made another trip to visit Ye-ye and Nai-nai ("grandpa" and "grandma") in San Jose. Eliana, who likes to run around freely about the house, did not like being confined to Mommy and Daddy's seats on the completely full flight. So we brought a bunch of new toys, trinkets, and treats for her and would whip one out when she was about to go crazy. Besides the fact that Eliana poured 1/8 cup of water onto Daddy's lap, the flight went fine.

What did Eliana do in California? The weather was beautiful, so she explored the backyard and Yeh-yeh and Nai-nai looked on. She wore her backpack and ran around the house.
Eliana pretended to talk on the phone.
She now know's how to say "Yeh-yeh" and "Nai-nai", much to the delight of Elvin's parents. She also doles out hugs if she feels like it.
We walked to Elvin's old elementary school to visit the playground.The slide is always a hit.

And last but not least, Eliana has her first In-N-Out milkshake. She also had a bite of Mommy's cheeseburger and fries.

No pictures of the flight home. Southwest overbooked the flight and bumped Elvin off the flight. Unfortunately, they didn't tell him that until they closed the door to the airplane--with Emily and Eliana inside. Needless to say, Elvin was a little peeved at Southwest for getting left behind.
