San Diego Trip - Part 3


 And now, back to my trip to San Diego to visit my son and his family.  On Saturday after the soccer game we headed to the local fall festival.  It is just for the community where they live so it was small - but very well done.  The boys loved the "Hay Ride".  They didn't realize there was no hay for miles around.  All they cared about were the cool horses and the wagon.
 There was free food all over the place including free beer and wine but only in sample sizes - but you could just keep coming back for samples!  There were German sausages, big hot pretzels, churls, kettle corn, and tastings of the chile and pies for the cook-offs.  The Pie Eating Contest was a riot!  Talk about pie in the face!!  No hands allowed.  I enjoyed watching that!
After all that activity we were ready for a nice glass of wine in the courtyard.  Ryan put a fire in the outdoor fireplace and the kids brought out the building blocks.  But these are no ordinary building blocks - these are the same blocks that my children played with when they were little.
Just look at these old pictures!  Same old building blocks!  Even Brendan and Casey (the older grandsons who are now in college) played with them when they were young.  Notice the little car on the top of the building and then go back and find it in the basket.  Same car.
And - this picture - well, I just loved it!  Justin is one happy little boy!
