So over the past weekend, we took a 5 day trip to Georgia with Aurora to visit her godmoms.
They live a fair distance from Atlanta, so it was a bit of a trek to take a toddler and her accoutrements. But quite worth it, and we all got to spend some great time with good friends and family.
First daylight Saturday found us trying to rapidly adapt the house for toddler semi-safety, or at least making it so we could herd her to safety periodically. Aunt Heather, Aurora, and I made a rapid dash for some place 20 miles or so off down some crazy country roads. Aurora was delighted to find an incredibly friendly boxer dog (she kept calling her Toby), a tractor to play on, and even better, a borrowed high chair and one of those little plastic push cars. That saved the sanity of all the rest of us. She loved being outdoors in Georgia springtime (one of my favorite times and places too.)

Aunt Monica boiled up a big kettle of eggs, Mama and I dyed them up, and Aunt Heather and I dodged intermittent raindrops to get them put out quickly. Aurora loved the whole thing, and Heather took a few great photos shown here while I managed to grab a
little video of her egg hunting skills.

We went off to Atlanta on Tuesday, had a rapid visit with Mommy's old friend Kat, and a whirlwind drop by with friends B, K, and their new little A-man. Then a long trip home to sunny San Jose, and back to the usual week.
