Dinner at the Smith's

After the visit we went back to the Steips (Erika's in-laws) before driving over to the Smith's in Palos Verdes Estates.
Here is Scotti reading Rebecca and Lauren a story:
The Smith's are long-time friends of Scotti and Rich and are a very nice New Zealand transplanted couple (they've been in the U.S. over 25 years). Andy (my sister's brother-in-law) and Jenn (his fiancee) and Katie (my sister's sister-in-law) were also there. We had hors d'ouvres and chatted for a bit and then the kids were let loose outside! They had a great time running around, sitting on the swing and doing cartwheels and just getting out the pent up energy they couldn't release during their long drive!
The Smith's estate is gorgeous! They have a luxurious city view, a lavishly landscaped property, including a rose arbor that led to a trail below and a gazebo. Gazebos are my favorite! :)

Here's Erika and I enjoying the beautiful views!

The kids really loved being able to do gymnastics!


Dinner was delicious, as was dessert! After dinner, the funniest thing happened. Rebecca came into the living room and saw that Andy and Jenn were cuddling. Rebecca demanded to know what they were doing. Jenn said they were cudding and Rebecca's response was "ILLEGAL!" I couldn't help but giggle! :)
