Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2007. This was the summer that Mattie rode every roller coaster possible at Lego Land! Mattie LOVED roller coasters. He fell in love with them at Dutch Wonderland, when he rode on his first coaster. But at Lego Land, we couldn't get him off of them. I have never been on a roller coaster in my life, but fortunately Peter also loves them and together they spent the day together having a blast! When they stopped moving we did the other wonderful Lego Land components of the park! I would have to say Lego Land was one of Mattie's favorite theme parks! No surprise since Legos could have been his all time favorite toy (right up there with hot wheels and trains)!

It has been a busy day for me. I have been helping my parents with various things around their home and for the last few days we have been reorganizing my dad's in-home office. This project has involved moving desks, chairs, computers, rehanging pictures, moving all sorts of other furniture, and the list goes on. Somehow when you start one clean out project it has a way of carrying over into other areas. So we have been busy together but we have made great progress.
In the midst of projects, we also got out today and had a lovely lunch outdoors and walked around. It was another glorious weather day here and it is hard to believe in the two weeks that I have been here I haven't experienced ONE grey day! Not one drop of rain!!! It is remarkable, especially coming from Washington, DC. Which to me is gray all so many days!
Meanwhile this evening, Peter sent me this photo from Washington, DC! It was a reminder to me of the fantastic summer storms we have due to the heat and humidity! It looks quite different from the clear blue skies of Los Angeles! Something I will be returning to very shortly.
