Donna and the Girls!

Donna arrived in Ukiah the day before Halloween. We fashioned a costume for Julia out of the sheepskin that I had when I had my knee surgery. We made her a tail and strings to keep the hood on her head. She was a sheep! We had so much fun getting it ready and she had her mom put some makeup on her face (a black nose and pink cheeks). She wore it to school, after school to trick or treat and then to the fall festival that we went to later in the evening. It was a really fun day. After spending a week with the kids, Beth and Julia rode to Hemet with me and spent about 10 days in the area. We had so much fun. We went to see an uncle of Beth's and had a great day with him. Later in the week, Beth and Julia went to LEGOLAND and had a blast. Julia saw so many lego things and people that she was lego'd out! They came back to Hemet to celebrate Bubba's (Tom) birthday and on Sunday, we took them back to Los Angeles to head home on Monday. We spent Sunday afternoon at Venice Beach. It was so much fun seeing all the strange people, skateboarders and street performers. We had lunch from the food trucks and just walked around and enjoyed the day together. I was so happy to have that time with them and can't wait to see them again at Christmas.
