Oh, Hi!

That's how Charlotte and Max pronounce the the name of the town Ojai, California: oh-hi!  That is, of course, the appropriate pronunciation, but it sounds extra 'specially cute coming from them.  We spent last weekend in Ojai, staying with our friends Jefferey and Haigaz.  They purchased a great place in Ojai, which they've renovated and turned into something pretty special.  Max and Charlotte (and Jenn and I) had a wonderful time!

They posed for us sitting in a gorgeous old oak tree on Jefferey and Haigaz' property.

Charlotte and Max got to pick figs, apples, oranges and tomatoes (perhaps Max' favorite food after strawberries).  Jefferey peeled and cut one of the sweet, sweet oranges for Max.

Max and Charlotte explored the property, being careful to look out for the black widows which are supposedly lurking about (well, we watched out for them).

Jenn, Charlotte, Max and Jefferey enjoyed some of the local musical talent -- a bluegrass band -- playing at Ojai's farmer's market on Sunday morning.

Don't let the fact that Max was eager to hop into our car and drive away persuade anyone into thinking that we didn't have a wonderful time!

It was a short visit, but in that time we got to do lots.  (Lucy and Rufus spent the time at Camp Foothill Veterinary Hospital.)  I'd like to thank Jefferey and Haigaz again for their hospitality.  And I hope that whirling dervish of activity that is Max and Charlotte these days doesn't discourage from extending it again.
