After we essentially wore ourselves out, we cleaned up, and had a delicious tomato and turkey sandwich. Kasey's cousin Jeanne gave us a couple of perfectly ripe tomatoes and they were yummy.
We had dinner plans with my niece Stephanie and her husband James as well as their 2 daughters Ryder and Eli.
Before we went to their house we stopped at the Will Rogers Botanical Garden.
The place is amazing and filled with so many different plants and lots of color. Several families seemed to be getting their family photos taken. Some of the trees are labeled but most are not.
There are a few memorials and sculptures and even a deviant squirrel. I must have taken 200 photos of plants, butterflies and other interesting things.
When we arrived at Stephanie's house, she was waiting outside with the 2 girls. It is a nice neighborhood and she has a very nice house. The girls each have their own room. Ryder is the older one at 5 years and Eli is 2. They were shy at first but soon wanted to show things, say things , and be inquisitive. James was running late but soon arrived to the joy of his daughters. We had brought some Taramasu for dessert which was a real hit. The kids wanted to play outside so we went to the back yard as they demonstrated their skills in making bubbles, riding the electric car and sliding down the slide.
Stephanie works from home a lot for a wedding planning agency and James is a lawyer in his family's law firm. He does mostly personal injury cases.
We had a very nice visit but being a school night, we had to depart so they could get their baths and get to bed.
We headed off to our Harvest Host site for the evening. Tomorrow we head for Amarillo, Texas.
Wonderful photos, especially one of Tad at the table and the appetizing sandwich dish. DianaP
