A Visit from the Kumars and a Trip to Big Bear

Last month Suzan and Naresh (Nani and Nana) came to visit.  Unfortunately we took hardly any photos (these photos of Arthur at the baby gym and Beatrice standing in a thicket of bamboo at the Arboretum are the only ones we have) but we had a wonderful time nonetheless.

Dev's parents accompanied us to our regular activities, like ballet class and the baby gym, and we also went out for a lovely Hungarian dinner for Dev's birthday (including an unexpected floor show perfomed by a voice class practicing their performance skills).

Also while they were visiting, I was able to get away for two nights for this year's girls' trip, this time to a cabin in Big Bear. (See the first and second trips.)

 The theme of this tea room was not minimalism.

 Saying "prune" - apparently a modeling trick for getting the "perfect pout."

Amy Robb, Amy Turner, Summer St. Pierre, Stephanie Spehar, and I enjoyed a very full weekend of cooking, eating, hiking, geocaching, shopping, and having tea -  not to mention spending four consecutive hours in a jacuzzi.

Thank you, Amy and Amy, for planning this year's getaway!  I really think this was our best trip yet, and I can't wait for next year.

P.S. - I forgot whose photos were whose, but all of these great Big Bear photos are from either Amy Robb or Amy Turner.
