While in Irvine, we visited many happy places from Brittney’s sunny childhood. The day after Christmas we took a walk to the lake by Brittney’s childhood home to feed the ducks.

We visited a frog at the Woodbridge shopping center on the way home.
|
On Monday we all went swimming. Max liked watching Eric and Breanne reenact dances from Dirty Dancing. 
|
Max loved swimming with Grandpa and watching his brave older cousins jump into Brittney and Jeff’s arms from the side of the pool. 
|
It’s not a week at the Jensens without some jacuzzi time. <
|
We had lots of fun indoors too. Max liked coloring with Breanne and Sophie.  
|
One night we had a dance party.    
|
| Here’s a short snippet of everyone dancing to “Hot Chocolate,” more universally popular than “I’m a Gummy Bear,” which Sophie loved but Breanne kept trying to turn off. Video of the Jensen Dance Party |
With the help of chocolate bribes for some active girls, we were finally able to get a photo with all the grandkids looking at the camera.
|
We all went out for burgers our last night there. Max’s restaurant manners haven’t been the best lately, but he was all smiles once he got to sit with Gandpa.
|
One of Max’s favorite activities was kissing everybody good night. Always made him giggle.
|
| Max sure misses his cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles (and that California sunshine). |
