Weekend with the cousins

Our visit with the family in El Dorado Hills was wonderful. The kids play so well together. Christopher and Cole are amazing together. Duh, two three year old boys around trains and trucks??? Emmy was loving time with Forrest and Forrest loved any time with any one!













 We headed off to the pool since it was oh, about 102 degrees outside. Forrest has never been to a pool so we thought it would be fun.






 Forrest's hat is too big for him so it kept falling over his face :( But at least the sun wasn't getting to it!
 The boys went golfing and Melissa and I took the kids back to the house for naps. After that it was brownie time!


The next day, Sunday, we were heading home, but not till after lunch. The kids hung out, Uncle Timmy did biscuits with them, then we did lunch and headed home.

Christopher was reading to his brother...


 Emmy woke up and joined in. love this photo.



  The kids played with Christopher's Mobigo. It was fun watching them play and watching Christopher teach them how to play it.



 See? He loves this position...



 Then it was biscuit time!



 Sexy honey! :)



 Caught you Christopher!
 Ha :)
 Pat Pat Pat!

  Great time with the kids, great time with Tim and Melissa. We're going to try to go up again soon. It's just worth it to get the kids together.

San Francisco or Bust

Last weekend we went to El Dorado Hills for a visit with my brother and his family. We took Friday off and decided to do a mini-trip through San Francisco. With Christopher discovery of the Golden Gate Bridge we thought he'd enjoy it. He was lucky enough to bring along Taki (pronounced Tacky) the daycare's residence penguin (because who doesn't have one) with us for the trip.

When we got to the city it was overcast and David and I both figured seeing much of the bridge was going be a loss. We started going through the city and visiting the windmill...

 All the way at the bottom, by that post, is David, Christopher and Taki....
 Taki's up close shot
 Oops, Taki!
 Christopher and Taki :)

 Forrest wondering what was going on???
 Taki leading the way...


 So when we got to the bridge, fog, everywhere, you couldn't even see much of it. But we kept going...
 Nothing... you couldn't see anything of the other side...

 But then.... through the fog, we saw a little...
 Then a little bit more... perhaps?
 And then!!! Perfect timing!
 It turned out to be perfect.... Taki wanted more photos...


 We talked someone into taking one of us...
 And David got one of me with my boys...
We had lunch in Sausalito, which I've never done. It was beautiful. Then on around the bay and to El Dorado Hills!
