GG Osborn's funeral

We all flew back to Pennsylvania for GG Osborn's funeral in mid-October. While it was a sad occasion, it was nice to see so much of our family and to celebrate Grandma's long life together. While it was my mom's mom that had passed away, some of my dad's family also came to pay their respects, so we were able to catch up with them too. 

One of the family members that came to the visitation and the funeral was my grandma's cousin, Sister Mildred Boeh. As you can see above, she is 102 and proud of it. She and my grandma still talked, via the computer, every Monday morning. It was really impressive to see how well they both adapted to new technology!

Here are all the cousins. We have quite a California contingent now. Danielle and her family, Kevin, Emily, and our family are all living in California now. Eric and Jo are in North Carolina, and Danny and Dean (who wasn't able to come) are in Texas.

Cecilia got my phone to take some selfies.

After the funeral, we took over tables in the lobby of the hotel most of the family was staying at to go through things from GG's apartment. We looked through and divvied up old photos, Christmas ornaments, crosses, jewelry, and of course, GG's Christmas sweaters. 

Later, we went to dinner with Grammy, Paca, and Emily. We had to say goodbye to everyone there, as they were all leaving the next day and we were staying with Chad's grandparents.

Goodbye to GG Osborn

On October 3rd, Heaven got another angel. My grandmother, GG Osborn to the kids, passed away. She had turned 98 only ten days previously and thankfully was able to talk to all of her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids that day. We were sad to lose her, but so happy that she was no longer in any pain and is now reunited with my grandfather, Poppy.

Here are a few of my favorite photos with GG Osborn in the last few years.

Dropbox Picnic

On October 3rd, Dropbox had their family picnic on Treasure Island, which is a man-made island in the middle of the San Francisco Bay. It was a fun day, although really windy at times!

The kids loved the bouncy slide.

They also had a lot of fun getting to look at and sit in the fire truck!

There was lots of delicious food! They had a bunch of food trucks and you could get whatever you wanted for free. One of the food trucks had doughnuts and "cronuts". They were really yummy!

This area was the kids' area. Dropbox had hired a bunch of babysitters and the area set up so that you could drop off your kids and there were face painters, magic shows, dance parties, games and more for the kids to do. 

Grant was REALLY into playing "Hungry Hungry Hippos" in the kids' area. We kept asking if he wanted to do anything else, but he just wanted to play that.

Cecilia was much more interested in the shows and activities. She loved the dance party and was the only one participating for a long time!

Looking back across the Bay towards San Francisco. You can see part of the Bay Bridge too.

Before we left, Grant decided that he would like to have a monster truck painted on his arm.

The fire fighters put up the ladder and one of them climbed up to the top. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that in person. It is REALLY high up there!

As you can see, Lucas spent most of the time in his carrier, snuggled up to Mommy.

He was pretty happy there!

Not too long after these videos, they had to shut down and deflate all of the inflatable stuff because the wind was getting too strong. So it's good that the kids got to do the slides while they were still running!
