I DON'T THINK CORINNE WOULD MIND - I HOPE NOT

 But since I really couldn't get a photo of Mac as she seemed to be camera shy at this visit, I saw these at FB and thought I would put them here.  

(thanks Corinne - i like to try and keep their photos updated and you took beautiful photos.)

SETH, AUNT LAURA AND COUSIN ERIN

 Putting this up here in case the kids ever see this blog .  Your dad was riding in this pedal boat up in Green Valley lake, where we use to take your dad and his brothers for a day trip.  Now, living in the mountains, we go there often to enjoy the lake and walk around.

WHEN SETH HAD TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HIMSELF IN GRADE SCHOOL

 

I see that he knew exactly wanted to do as he got older.  He stated his favorite hobbies including "building stuff".  

and a lot of young photos.  

YOUR DAD ...CUTE PHOTO

 This photo reminded me of your Jake.  I think he was about 6 or 7 in this photo.

BUSY, FOCUSED

 

NOT QUITE THE ANGLE BUT CLOSE

 Maybe it just felt good to think I saw the resemblance.

A DAY AT VILLAGE PARK IN CLAREMONT

 I was watching you two and the little boy wanted to talk - wanted to be friends and you were kind of ignoring him.  You looked at him once and turned away.  I assumed you thought you had enough friends like me and Papa who would play with you at the park.

FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER BLOG ARCHIVE

I may not have posted it here.  This was Jake's first carousel ride at Tom's Farms.

YOUR DAD AND UNCLE SAM IN A FRIEND'S JACUZZI

 

WHILE LIVING IN WRIGHTWOOD

 Not sure if these ever got posted on her blog.  We had limited bandwidth or whatever you call it when we had the dish ..satellite - not sure.  Anyway i thought i'd put them up.

LOOKING BACK .........A TRIP TO OLIVE GARDEN IN MONTCLAIR WITH THESE TWO CUTIES

 I can't believe now that I'm in my 70's how much I miss these days in the past - with grandkids and also when my kids were young.  I would go back in a minute to do it all over again with a little more wisdom than I had then.  Also remembering the night we got to hold the babies, you with Jakie and me with Cole.  Damn I miss these times.

MACKENZIE SENT THESE TO ME ON INSTAGRAM

 Since I didn't see them posted anywhere else, i saved them off to put here on her blog for her.

She and her friends look so cute as 70's gogo girls.
