Welcome Norwegians !


The annual San Francisco welcome photo ! As always the boys are a whole lot taller , smiles a whole lot broader and the hugs a whole lot longer !! Their flight was delayed a couple of hours in London so they arrived later than usual. We thought we'd hit horrible commute traffic over the Bay Bridge so we took the "scenic" route through San Francisco and over the Golden Gate Bridge. We encountered very little traffic and best of all......in the boy's eyes.......on the other side of the bridge was an IN and Out ! With great excitement we stopped in for a quick dinner before starting up the road. We ended up getting here about 8:30 ......Jim , Seth and Amanda were eagerly waiting.
After a good night's sleep they all couldn't wait to head down to the mall in Roseville. We met Granny for lunch at Chili's where Jilly quenched her hunger for a Buffalo Chicken Salad. The boy's got new Vans at the mall and Espen got earphones at the Apple Store. Amanda and Seth came for dinner......I made a vat of Mac and Cheese !
Yesterday the boys all hung out at Granny's house......golf cart rides being the main attraction. Jill and I hit Nordstrom Rack where Jill found the perfect pair of shoes. On the way home Molly called.....she'd been at a meeting at her school and was then on the freeway with a flat tire ! We found her on the freeway shoulder and waited and gave her "moral support" until the tow truck showed up. Tire changed and we were off to home....but , not until we stopped and gave Seth a ride to Amanda's car.......long story ....... Barbequed burgers for dinner and great soccer to watch ...it was a very fun evening.
I think we're staying home today....maybe a picnic at the lake. Dan just called and sounds like they'll be here tomorrow.......let the fun times roll !
