Family is About to Descend on Me!

I love my family, but the next 10 days are going to be overwhelming. I wanted to let everyone know that I will only be on MyLot occasionally between now and the 14th.
Three of our daughters and six of our grandkids are going to be in town over the next 10 days.
Our oldest granddaughter is graduating from college this weekend, so as many family members as possible will be here in Southern California to celebrate with her. Former President Bill Clinton will be the keynote speaker at our granddaughter's graduation. It should be interesting to hear what he has to say.
While they are all here, the entire family will be taking day trips to Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the beach and other local spots. Some of the kids and grandkids are going to Disneyland, but my husband and I have been there so many times that we'll just meet them for dinner at Downtown Disney on those days. We will also be babysitting our youngest grandchild some of the time, while the others go out.
The bottom line is that you will only see me pop on here occasionally between now and the 14th.
Don't think I've dropped out. I'll be back in full force later this month!

@enlightenedpsych2 - I had a nice Mother's Day, but an exhausting one. We spent the day at Sea World!

@enlightenedpsych2 - That is so nice that you cooked for your mother this weekend. I'm sure she loved it. Sea World was a wonderful place for our family to spend Mother's Day.

It's always nice to have family there but it's also nice to get back to the normal routine also.

We are really enjoying having them here. I won't have much free time until Saturday or Sunday, but then things will be back to normal!

Wow, you will have a wonderful time visiting and talking. Maybe you could write about " Downtown Disney" when you have time. It is something I never heard of.

@JamesHxstatic - Downtown Disney is a great way to get a little taste of Disney, without having to pay the $104 admission, plus parking!

@ElizabethWallace - There were bathrooms ... but, as usual at places like that, the line was long. We were exhausted by the time the graduation was over.

@DeborahDiane I hope you all had easy access to a bathroom. That's a really long time to be anywhere.

@DeborahDiane She is the other side of the continent, isn't she? It's a bit tough when they are so far away.

I'm popping in every chance I get for a few minutes. Yesterday, we went to Sea World and I plan to write a post about it. It was fun ... but eight hours of walking around left me exhausted!

Yes, going out to see new places in your own town can be tiring, too. Have fun, though!
