Cali 2a: Family

On the second day of my trip to California, we went to hang out with all of Mom's crazy family at Auntie Jan's house. I already knew the Poehls family tradition of eating olives off of your fingers. However, there was much more to learn. I got to practice throwing balls and learned to roll them down couch cushions (and incidentally learned to tear apart furniture).






Cousin Caroline taught me basic survival skills: how to text and how to play music on a cell phone. Mommy & Daddy are thrilled.




And of course, we went swimming. I blew bubbles and nearly mastered the froggy kick.

It looks like you learned lots of new things while you were in Southern California. The swimming part is especially good because it is nice and toasty there in the summertime.
