We went out to Riverside after Violet's soccer class Saturday, to visit my cousin Elizabeth and her husband Jerry. We hadn't visited them in over two years, so it was definitely overdue.
After lunch and a board game, we relaxed in the back yard on the lovely hammock.
Then we headed to the botanical gardens at the University of Riverside. Violet seized the camera and happily snapped away, including this photo.

Elizabeth took this pretty shot of Cora Rose in the roses. Cora loves Elizabeth, and was so excited about spending time with her. Maybe it has something to do with Cora being their flower girl when she was a toddler? Saying that, Violet was pretty excited to see them, too!
Later, Cora led the way as we took Riley on a walk through a natural area just beyond their neighborhood. It was a nice little hike, with beautiful views.
For dinner, we went to a Mexican restaurant with interesting artwork all over the patios. The bicycle here had bottle caps covering the frame, individually screwed in.
These huge figures were created from chicken wire forms filled with oyster shells.
We had a great time together, and we were really glad we made the trip.
