Quick trip to Fresno

On Wednesday afternoon we headed to Fresno for a quick visit with Dedushka (Will's Dad) and Grammalene. We arrived around 5pm and within 5 minutes of arrival she was already in her swimsuit and ready to jump in the pool and swim with her Dedushka. Dedushka and Grammalene were quite impressed with her no fear of water and her direct personality. The girl definitely knows what she wants!

After swimming and dinner, Dedushka and Kate ran laps around the living room chasing their two little dogs. Kate loved playing with the dogs, Coco and Susie, since they were just her size. Shortly after this picture was taken we all got back into our swimsuits and took another dip in their hot tub, including Kate.Bedtime story with Dedushka! The next day we all took the dogs for a walk in the morning. Kate was so excited to be able to hold the dog leashes. After the walk, Kate played with Grammalene's Tinkertoys and playdough. We also all got back into our swimsuits one more time and took another dip in the hot tub (it was actually pretty chilly for a typical Fresno morning so we avoided the cold pool). After lunch it was time for us to say our goodbyes and head back home. It was a short but wonderful trip!!!

Kate absolutely adores her Dedushka and I am pretty sure he feels the same way. :-)
