This morning Mama and I said good-bye to Baba (my grandmother) and head off to Hume. It is tradition in our family to take a family photo whenever we leave a relative, and this is the traditional picture for this visit.

(Baba is not crying, by the way, she's smiling.)

My mom, her mom, and I visited my grandmother's sister. I haven't seen her in a long time and I was surprised to see how tall I had grown. It seems that I am suddenly towering over everyone I know!

My grandmother is pictured on the left and her sister on the right. I was so tall that she wanted to stand on a patio step so she could be the same height as me.

Mama and I are going to visit my grandmother, who lives in Los Angeles, for a few days. After that, we're traveling up the mountain to Hume Lake to visit Seth and help get the camp ready for summer.
This picture was taken on the boring drive to L. A. Because it was shot in a moving car at night time, it understandably didn't come out clearly. *Sigh* Oh well.

I can call it modern art and sell it on Ebay.

Today was our co-op's last class for the school year. To celebrate, we went to In-N-Out (the student's favorite restaurant) for lunch. And, as you can see, we also took our end-of-the-year-group-picture in front of the crossed palm trees. I must admit I felt I was breaking the law as we stood in the planter bed.

We did not get arrested. (Thank God!)

One of my family's favorite places to exercise is the local lake near our house. There is a beautiful gravel walking path around it, and a group of Canadian geese live there during the warm seasons. We love coming during the spring and seeing the newborn goslings. Today, Mama and I visited them.

Here are some pictures of the trip.

(R) This one of many large geese families. The babies were so cute, small, and fuzzy; I wished I could cuddle one so bad.
