Let's Make Music

Today I was playing my violin and Lizzy came in to listen as she usually does. I turned around after I finished a song and this is what I found.

That's a Lizzy shaped lump right there.
(That's my new bow on my case, I love it!)
She had my fine tuner...

my extra bow and pieces of my shoulder rest.

Whenever that girl is hiding in our bed, we know and she knows, she's up to no good.

Little stinker.

Why stop there? Why not have a green hand!

Labor Day Weekend in California


Lizzy visiting with grandpa Glen in their backyard.

Lizzy hanging out at the beach.

Lizzy and grandpa burying Dave.

Catching the wave.

I'm MIA, but that's Dave's bald head.

Waiting for the next "big one."

Digging with grandpa.
Time to go home!
Grandpa, Lizzy and Dave taking a breather on our Sunday afternoon walk.

We went to California last weekend to go and visit Dave's dad and wife. It was so much fun! We got in late Friday night and spent Saturday at Laguna Beach.
The water was AMAZING! I'd guess around 78* and the waves were huge! Lizzy didn't care for the water at all. The waves really scared her. So, she played on the beach in the sand, building castles and digging holes and playing with Grandma Ann.

Dave and I were in the water the whole time. We did some body surfing and wave jumping. There were times that I couldn't quit laughing because it was just so much fun!
After the beach we went out to Chili's for dinner (I recommend getting the white chocolate lava cake. It's so so good!).
