Grandma Great

We went out to Bakersfield for almost a week in February to celebrate Maya and Ben's great grandma's life. We will miss Grandma Great very much, but we are happy she was able to meet and spend time with her great grandchildren.

In spite of the reason behind our trip, we had a great time in California. Maya and Lola picked right up where they left off from Thanksgiving, and Ben enjoyed his first trip to Bakersfield since he was 5 weeks old! 

 We spent a long morning at Murray Family Farms, outside of Bakersfield, with Benji, Amy, and Lola. There was a petting zoo, where the kids enjoyed getting up close and personal with the animals (me - not so much). There was also a giant moonbounce. Amy and I watched as the kids and Larkin and Benji jumped, ran, and had races. We weren't sure who had more fun - the kids or the dads.

All in all, it was a great trip. We had a wonderful time catching up with friends and family and sharing wonderful memories of Grandma Great!
