Berkeley, CA - Post 2 of 4

More pictures from our trip. First some pictures taken at the park right by Christ and Fenna's house. The kids had so much fun with their cousins.



We took two different day trips into San Francisco. The first we went to Ghiradelli Square where we enjoyed two hot fudge sundays. That was of course until they were gone.



Then just some miscellaneous pictures including several riding the trolley.

Berkeley, CA - Post 1 of 4

So in September Dana and I decided to go see Chris and Fenna in Berkeley (ok Albany, but nobody knows where that is). We sprung this on them and showed up the first week of October a few weeks later (with Fenna due like 2 weeks after that). What great guests we are...

Anyway we had a great time. Our kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. We tooks several day trips around and so here are some of those pictures.

First of all we stopped at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield, CA. It was interesting, but I think the kids enjoyed the free samples more than seeing how they were made. We also went to Muir Woods, which was a lot of walking and very crowded. The family picture was taken on the hill up above the Cal campus. And then finally, one of the favorite activities of the kids each night was to each some Belly Flops we purchased at the Jelly Belly factory and then lay on the Aero Bed while it got blown up. The Aero Bed was lots of fun.

So anyway here are the pics:

Emma is Back at School

So here are a couple pictures of Emma on her first day of first grade. She is a very good student. She is also a great reader and so the next picture is how we find her quite often.

The County Fair

So we went to the fair back in August. We had a great time. Emma and Ben loved going on the ferris wheel with me. As you can see they also like petting the animals.

A Post a Day

So we all know that it has been forever since we have updated the blog. So along with the new format I have a hundred and one new pictures to post (no, I didn't actually count them). So I am going to try and post a new set of pictures each day. That should last almost until Christmas... then I will promptly ignore the blog again for a few months. ;)

So the first batch are just a few pictures from around the house this summer. The kids are showing off some of the vegetables from the garden this year, etc...
