Pictures from our visit to Gram and Betsy's (Loring's mother and sister) in Lodi, California.

Barbie sealing the roof of the motorhome. She says the paint looks like marshmallow cream (but tastes really yucky on ice cream)!

A local bed and breakfast called Wine and Roses. We stopped by because it belongs to the half-brother of Barbie's friend and former co-worker from Franklin Elementary, Heidi Cherry. It's beautiful!

A school in Lodi that's named after a relative of Barbie's boss, Roy Cencirulo (assistant principal at Franklin).

Barbie engaged in one of her favorite activities!

The brick patio nears completion behind Gram's house. She is closely supervising the efforts of Barbie and Betsy.

Loring's mom, Etheleen, surveying the world from her favorite chair.

Etheleen holding court with her grandchildren. She told them about the time she worked for See's Candy for one week. She couldn't take any candy home, but could eat all she wished while there! She couldn't even look at See's candy for a year after that. (She got over it and loves it today!)

Cousin Linnea (daughter of Loring's sister Sally) being silly. All the cousins seem to act silly when they get together!

Lodi Lake at sunset. The fish weren't biting on Jacob's line, but the blackberries were wonderful! The kids made blackberry tarts for the whole family. They were delicious!
