Rice-a-Roni- the San Francisco Treat!
Morgan and the "Dangerous Dog"
Aboard the "Duck" with Uncle Greg
In the buff on Baker Beach
Uncle David & Duncan with the kidsThe kids and I went to see Greg, David, & Duncan in Oakland at the beginning of this week. We had an awesome time... a good combination of relaxing, sight-seeing, and a little drama. We started off the trip with some long walks around the neighborhood, and a walk to the theater to see "UP"... an amazing movie. The kids made lemonade with lemons from the lemon tree in the beautiful backyard-- how cool is that?
On Tuesday, we ventured to the city for a Duck Tour aboard a WWII amphibious landing craft that took us all over SF and then into the Bay. It was a very cool way to see the sights-- the kids even got to drive the duck when it was in the Bay! We had a bite to eat at In n' Out, then went to the beach. We thought the kids would think it was too cold to swim-- outside temp was in the low 60's. This didn't seem to deter them... and they rode home with no clothes on except the grown ups' sweatshirts! Our evening meal had a splash of excitement when Morgan fell over backwards on her chair and nearly impaled herself with the tail of a dog statue shown above. You can barely see her band-aid in the picture. After consulting with the neighborhood gynecologist, we decided she did not need stitches. She is healing up nicely. I think it was the ice cream from Fenton's that Uncle David treated us to that helped the healing.
Our last day, the kids and I walked to a park about a mile from Greg & David's called "Fairyland". It was pretty fun, even though it was a little "young" for my kiddos. The kids loved walking wherever we went and spent plenty of time critiquing the neighbors' lawns and homes as we walked by. It was pretty humorous. We had so much fun playing with Duncan and laughing with the boys. My cheeks hurt when it was time to come home. Thank you Greg & David for a wonderful time!
