Picnic in the park

I'm a bit behind on the postings here but twoo weeks ago we got some friends together for a picnic in Vasona Lake Park. Really nice to see a lot of our friends and spend some time together in the beautiful sunshine.

Ben and Maya hanging out together:

Looks like Sophie la girafe and Maya are getting along a bit better now.
Edit: Or maybe not...just realized that it looks like she is trying to strangle poor Sophie!

Picnic in the park

We had a nice picnic in the park last weekend. All of our friends had at least one kid/baby and it was complete chaos. We left 4 hours later and felt like we didn't really speak to anyone of our friends. It was great to get together though as we haven't seen some of our friends for 6 months now.

Napa trip and complete meltdown.

Yesterday we went up to Napa to visit some wineries and for a nice dinner. We had a great day and spent the afternoon at Sattui Winery with a tasty picnic and some wine tasting. Maya enjoyed the warm weather and all the new sights. Farmor and farfar enjoyed the cheese, salmon, olives, prosciutto, bread and of course, wine.

In the evening the intent was to have dinner at a nice restaurant in Napa and then head home. Maya had a different plan.... After some shopping to build up our appetite again, Maya decide to have a complete meltdown. It was probably a combination of over-stimulation, hunger and tiredness but she was inconsolable, crying at the top of her lungs. We were stuck in the parking lot for a long long time trying to get her to eat some milk and calm down. She finally relaxed and we decided to drive straight home instead. All of our nerves were shot and we just wanted to get back. It's strange how very very far away it feels with just an hour and a half drive when your little princess is unhappy.

Apart from the meltdown we had a fantastic day out.
