Hmm, I don't think so

Days 4/5: Sacramento

We headed up to Sacto to stay with my big bro and his family. By the time Sofi got out of the car this time and realized there was a whole different crowd of people to meet/greet/and catch up with, she decided she'd had enough. She started strong, but finished up by laying in Papa's lap and crying if you tried to move her.

Here's part of her strong start with Grandma Sandy and Ofelia.
This is cousin Noah and cousin Austin.

This is Noah's mom "Big Julie" posing with us and unhappy Sofi. You can see Grandpa Charlie (my dad) off to the left.

This is Ofelia's homegirl Gabby. She's Julie's youngest and only a month older than Ofelia.

This is a picture of me, most of the group I hung out with in high school and all of our family members. Crazy how we're still in touch in one way or another.

This is Ofelia hanging out with Grandma Sandy just before...

a much needed nap.

Here's Mr. Sir hanging out with some of the kiddos.

Grandpa Charlie (My Dad's name is really Marselo, but we call him Charlie cuz Sofi hears him on the phone much more than she sees him. It's like that Charlie's Angels show. Get it?) tickeling Austin.

Papa trying to rally Sofi.

Grandma Sandy with 3 of 4 grandchildren. Is that a choke hold mom?

Marcia watching over Emma and Sofi.

Ofelia right before bedtime.

Emma gettin down on some Ramen Noodles.

Last minute playing before we had to head to the airport. That's my bro Marselo, aka Uncle Turtle.

Sofi still not having it.

Overall we had a great trip. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of everyone who made it over to Sacto to say hi. Thanks to everyone who gave us a place to sleep, food to eat, and went out of their way to drive to different places to see us.

I'm going back to Cali...

Day 3/4: Dos Palos and Tracy

We did a lot of driving in CA. Sofi and Ofelia learned to take naps in the car and always woke up to a new city and a new group of people. They both did a pretty good job adapting. I think Sofi was a little confused about the crazy 'houses' with 'yards'... what happened to the elevator and parking garages?! Ahh loft living.
On day 3 we drove to the middle of nowhere, aka Dos Palos, to visit with one of my best friends from high school and her fam. Here are most of them hanging out while Sofi steals a doll and a snack.

Sofi really took to Janessa (my goddaughter). She still says "Nessa, ball? Nessa, ball?" Janessa tried to show Sofi a few soccer moves while we were there. Little Jonathon (below) is about Sofi's age and they spent plenty of time fighting over toys.

Here's Big Johnaton (no, I didn't spell that wrong) and Mike taking care of Ofelia while we were outside. They turned a box into a seat for Ofelia and then played on Facebook.

That night we drove to Tracy and stayed the night at Mike's Aunt Gigi and Uncle Carl's place. Here's Ofelia getting a little tummy time with Uncle Carl. She rolled over for the first time that moring... Mike and I missed it.

We were busy trying to pack up and get Sofi dressed for the day.
