Uncle John's House

After Disney we spent a couple of nights at Uncle John's (Kari's dad's older brother) house in Fallbrook north of San Diego. I can't really describe this place in a way that will do it justice. Constructed from real adobe, he and his wife Marilyn built it themselves over the course of many years in the early 80's, it somehow manages to be both modest and spectacular at the same time. Perhaps the best way to describe it though it to say it's a really fun place to be a little boy.

It has lots of space with dirt and sticks and rocks.

It even has a small orchard where LT picked fresh oranges. He peeled and ate two right on the spot before filling the basket and returning to the house with his bounty.

Which, with grandma's help, he used to make fresh squeezed orange juice.

Playing inside one night, Adler tried to steal some of LT's snacks.

Which earned him a big kiss from his brother.

The boys weren't the only ones who enjoyed the surroundings, with so much helpful and welcoming family around, I got a little alone time with my camera. Here are a couple pictures taken at Uncle John's:
