Visit From the Evanston Crew

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from Devin and Nichole, Brody, Zane, and Preslie.  They arrived Saturday, February 23, and left Wednesday morning, February 27.  We had such a fine time with them, and the apartment was far too quiet when they departed.  Brody is getting so tall.  He has a few missing teeth, and he is a superb reader (he's in first grade and is ready to advance to reading fourth grade level books).  Zane is also getting big.  He is very strong willed, and kept us smiling with funny things he said with such seriousness.  Preslie is adorable!  She warmed up to us right away, and it was so fun to become acquainted.  I especially had a great day with her while the rest of her family went to Disneyland Tuesday and her grandpa was at the mission office.

Sunday afternoon walk around the channels
I think this is two seals (or sea lions). We watched one for quite a while, then noticed another one. Pelicans were also diving for fish. 
It was so fun to watch.
