Not only did Maya meet her cousin, Loretta for the first time, but Shu Shu was released from City of Hope earlier than we anticipated and surprised us in Bakersfield. (It's still early, so please hold your calls and visits to mom for the next couple of weeks.)
The trip actually started in San Jose, where Maya, Benji, and I did some hiking and checked out the local farm animals.
Maya searched for her favorite animal (duck) among the chickens. Later that day, Grandpaji drove up to San Jose to give us a ride back to Bakersfield for the weddings.
On Saturday morning, Maya, Katie, and the rest of the Tacketts went to Barbie's (our sister-in-law Amy's sister) wedding. On Saturday evening, I officiated Ray and Toni's ceremony.
It was a Father's Day to remember as the entire Tackett clan met up for the first time.
One of the highlights was Little Loretta meeting her namesake, Greatgrandma Loretta.We're back in Austin now, getting ready for our move to DC in two weeks.
