A Day Of Fun

Saturday morning started off with us driving over to Thomas & Ashley’s apartment to decide what we would do today. Thomas was preparing his gear for his departure on Tuesday and decided to have a little fun with his mom.

There is snow on those mountains

We decided to drive down to Ontario where there is a mall so Ashley & Thomas could do some baby shopping. The weather was nasty with rain at low altitudes and snow at the higher elevations with winds over 30 mph. We made it over Cajon Pass while driving through the snow. Gina and I had a lot of fun watching Ashley & Thomas shop today. They bought a few items but mostly they did a lot of looking.

By five o’clock we were all hungry and Thomas had Joe’s Crab Shack on his mind. This is his favorite restaurant and would be his last opportunity for a while to eat there, so Joe’s it was.

We enjoyed a great meal with them before heading back over Cajon Pass toward Victorville. It was snowing really hard over the Pass but we made it.  We made one final stop at Babies R Us so they could show us the baby bed they picked out.  I was overwhelmed by everything they have for babies today.  They sure didn't have all that stuff when we raised our babies.  Nevertheless, we finally made it back to their apartment and Ashley & Gina laid out all the purchases from today so I could get a picture.

For sure Abigail Faith will be Daddy's girl

We enjoyed a great day with Thomas & Ashley before we headed home and called it a night.


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
