Germans in California - Samantha turns 38

Samantha's birthday was extra fun this year as part of the German Family flew into San Francisco to help us celebrate. 
Iris and Uncle Harald brought
Iris' daughters, Leanna and Ariane.

Mark joined us too which doubled - maybe tripled - the fun.
We all stayed together in a wonderful old home in Menlo Park. While they explored the wonders of the Bay area, Helen and I either worked
or hugged grandchildren. 

We also joined them at a Carnival-like birthday party for one of their 3-year-old buddies.
Our good friends Emily and Dave hosted all of us for a wonderful dinner party on their back patio. Clea and Sebastian - who were in town from Geneva - joined us late and missed the photo.
We did other fun stuff too.
And Helen got to do her favorite thing with the grandchildren.
Oh yes ... we even wished Samantha a Happy Birthday.
Mega thanks to the Germans, Mark and The Qs for making this a super fun trip.
