Audrey's Birthday

We drove up to Sacramento to celebrate Audrey's 2nd birthday. We left at 5AM and drove to Kristen's house arriving just before noon. The trip was rather uneventful thankfully. Cade loves being in the car and slept the whole way, only waking to let us know he was hungry. There were several kids at the party, most of whom were in the bounce house when we arrived. Cade, with some assistance, jumped in the bounce house with Audrey. We watched Audrey open her gifts then almost pee on Kristen in the process as she stood completely naked in front of her. Too bad nobody caught of pic of that. What a crack up. Audrey didn't want much to do with Cade at first but she warmed up to him as the night progressed. Later, Cade, Kaity and I went out to dinner with Kristen and Grandma Rona. Audrey was still sleeping then woke up cranky so she didn't join us for dinner. She did play with us when we got back from dinner, serving us coffee and noodles...mmm. Then Audrey got to hold Cade while sitting in her new chair. She really seemed to enjoy holding him. Kristen said that when she woke up in the morning she was asking "Cade go?"
The next day we drove over to GREAT Uncle Steve, Dana, Olivia and Alison's house. Olivia has grown up so much since our wedding. and we met Allison for the first time. They are both so adorable and will talk your ear off if you let them. Soon after we arrived, we took a short trip over to Uncle Murray's and we all walked to downtown Healdsburg (3 blocks) to Cathy's shop. We visited with them for a while then walked around the plaza with Uncle Murray catching up since its been a while since we have seen them. We then drove up to the winery Dana works at for a 'preharvest BBQ'. This was a good time watching the kids play in the bounce houses while the adults enjoyed margaritas and good food. Cade was quite a hit as usual. I don't even know how many times he was passed around.
The next day, on the way home, we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge for a Kodak moment then stopped at Fisherman's Wharf for a bite to eat. A quick bite it was since we only had an hour on the parking meter. Since we spent so much time sightseeing, we got stuck in SF rush hour traffic. Not much better than a parking lot all the way to San Jose. We arrived home at about 1AM. It was a long whirlwind trip but it was great to see so many people that we don't get to see very often.
