Trip to Oakland

We spent the weekend visiting Jon’s family in Oakland, California. Jon’s mom Kathy flew out for the week, as well as Jon’s uncle Ken, aunt Denise, and cousin Megghan from New Hampshire, and cousin Brenna from Washington. Aunt Judy and Uncle Jim were awesome hosts (and tour guides) and we all had a great weekend!

Here's Avery with Grandma Kathy (and mom and dad)...

Avery is very sad today because she is not being held 24x7 like she was all weekend. Here's Avery with Hannah and cousin Kelsey...
