A Weekend with "Auntie Nat"

Natalie came to visit all the way from New York and we started the weekend off with a trip to the BEST COLLEGE EVER...

Within minutes of being on the UC Davis Campus, Bo got his first taste of the Aggie Band-Uh as they paraded right by us! He was a little shell-shocked by the noise or perhaps it was the amazing dance moves they are so famous for...

I made the Fam trek around the thousands, yes thousands of people on campus, to visit a few of the MANY events that I knew Bo would love! Picnic Day is like nothing I remember (um, and not because of the reasons many of you are all thinking). There were so many events, so many people, it was almost nauseating. My Fam got a taste of how big the campus is as we made the trek from the former "Rec Hall" all the way downtown.

Bo LOVED the fire trucks and helicopter displays, of course!

And Daddy loved the beer pong table at Beach Hut Deli - yes, we actually went to the Beach Hut for lunch (there is one in Chico where we are regulars) since EVERY SINGLE restaurant downtown had a line that went around the corner!

Look closely and you can see a round Baby Vanhorn on the right!

The pregnant wives waited in the warm sun while Gus showed the crew how to drink a Wicky-Wacky-Woo, or 2 or 3...

The whole mood had changed when they emerged from Cafe Bernardos, after several "Wickies"...

Gus and his cousin, Joey, continued to wrestle until 11pm that night....

No idea who this guy is in the middle?

Bo also made a new friend in Sarah (cousin Joey's fabulous girlfriend) She played with him all day. Lucky Kid. : )

Bo also made a few new "friends" when he ran into the middle of their game and got poised for a pitch! CRAZY CHILD!


It was so much fun to be back on campus where it all began for the Argenals! Davis has grown into a stunning downtown with so much to offer! The only drawback was the amount of people enjoying picnic day made it difficult to enjoy any of the new additions.

The next few days included a trip to get Easter pics at the mall and "Auntie Nat" bought Bo the COOLEST helicopter ever!

Grandma Great, Lukey, and Emmy also joined the Fam for a walk to the preschool park next to Kate and Jesse's. Bo got to walk Ruby and has never been so serious and concentrated in his life!

We miss Auntie Nat already. We sincerely owe her a visit to NYC; it's been too long!!!!
We'll be there in 2012, Nat, I promise!
