California Rewind: Playdate...finally

The sickness finally passed, and we were able to have a playdate with our bestest buddies in California. Barb, Aaron, Jacob & Addie. Every time we come to town, we hang out with this bunch of super fun people. Hannah asks about Jacob & Addie all the time, and I hear that Jacob is starting to talk about Hannah some more. :)

It was evening time when we got there. Because the weather was so nice (for us Canadians), we decided to ride bikes outside for a while before pizza dinner arrived.

Because they live on a nifty little cul-de-sac, the kids are allowed to ride their bikes in the street. But they know to come to the side if there is a car coming. :)

After we rode bikes, we went inside and had pizza for dinner while watching "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". I didn't take any pizza pictures because I was too busy eating, but I did manage to capture this jewel a little later. I have absolutely no concerns about Hannah being a fantastic big sister. Look at how she was cuddling Addie. :)
We piled all of the kids into a bath, and I got to see Aaron work his daddy magic. He bathed the three kids while Barb bathed Hailey in the sink (no nakie baby pictures...sorry). Then afterward, it was dry, jammie and blow-dry time. Hannah wouldn't let Aaron completely dry her hair, but she did let him do a little. :) I love this shot. Barb & Aaron have this down to a science. I learned a lot from them.
Then it was back to the couch to snuggle with friends and finish the movie. I love that our kids get along so well together. It's too bad that we live so far away. If we were neighbors...or even in the same city...I can guarantee that this kind of evening would be a monthly thing.
Thanks guys for a great evening. Let's definitely do it again when we come back to town in August!
