The Hadley's Do California

Call us crazy, stupid or both, but we headed to Redlands CA earlier this month for an extended weekend visit to see some of Emily's family.  Cindy was nice naive enough to accompany us on the plane so each adult had one child to look after.  Needless to say we were outnumbered, but we managed to keep everyone (mostly) entertained and under control.

Friday night we got to head to great-grandpa Smith's house and pay a visit.  Here are some photos from here:

Kate and great-grandpa Smith got some good catching up time

Meanwhile Cole drank some milk

Great-grandpa and Noah!

Cindy and her siblings

Saturday we headed over to Aunt Mary and Uncle Randy's for some football watching and catching up with the Jensen family.  Here's a photo of great-grandpa Jensen, his wife Maria and Noah.  Unfortunately, this was the only photo from the day, but we had a great time catching up and getting to know Maria!

Sunday was at the Palmer family farm / pumpkin patch / acres of awesomeness.  Here's Cole wandering through the goat herd.  He was not a fan...

The haystack pyramid on the other hand was great.

And we discovered bouncy houses!  Best toys ever.

Here we are for a group photo

Back to great-grandpa Smith's for Cindy's birthday celebration.  Here's Kate lounging with Max.

Cole got chocolate drunk

Cindy and her dad

And 4 generations of Smiths!

Cindy's sister Kathy and her husband David.  They were great help and lots of fun for Cole too!

And last, but not least, Emily's cousin Jessica, playing with Cole and David.  They managed to get Cole to forever fear the Lego chicken.
