In the pic above Keaton put together his first Gingerbread House when Lily was snoozing..but I think all he wanted to do is eat it instead of put it together!

On the drive up to the top they hand you a saw and tell you the scoop (pick any tree...there are 8 or 9 varieties...any size...for $50) They were handing out free hot coco, apple cider and candy canes. Next year we want to go a little early and buy the fresh tamales & salsa and make a picnic out of it! Keaton & Lily had a blast running through the trees and choosing the perfect tree! Later that night we went to Los Altos to meet up with my Aunt Betsy for a fun Christmas Parade...the kids had the best seats on the curb..thanks Aunt Betsy for saving space for us earlier in the day!

FRIDAY FUN

We are so excited to have family in town! GG & Papa G arrived last night and this morning we picked up Mimi & Hugh and went straight into the city. We went down to Crissy Field and walked over to the Palace of Fine Arts. We watched the ducks and swans and took in the beautiful architecture...just wish it was a bit warmer! It was time for the younger crew to take a nap...so we drove to San Carlos for lunch off Laurel Street..then a little shopping (for the birthday boy) next off to Burton Park!

A DAY in San Francisco

2011-09-07T22:01:00.000-07:00

I just discoverd that there are free museum days at different museums around the city. So we decided to drive into San Fran after Keaton finished school. We parked at Crissy Field -love the free parking...The kiddos immediately wanted to run onto the beach. Keaton loved hearing the fog signal from the big Barge going under the Golden Gate bridge...Then we headed down the path to the Exploratorium (free the first Wed of the month). The kids had fun...but I think the museum is best for older kids (...or just when Lily is Keaton's age). After the museum, we walked around outside watching the ducks & running in the grass...then we went back to the beach for some fun in the sand! I asked Keaton what he liked best about today... and he said the Barge!

Backyard Time!

2011-09-05T21:53:00.000-07:00

Lillian wants to be just like her big brother Keaton.... so she decided to get on his bike and try to ride it...she even put on his helmet all by herself!!!

Today we went to Burlingame for Lillian's first hair cut. Keaton also got his hair cut at the same time! Lily was not that happy...I think she was a little sleepy... but she perked up when they gave her a lollipop!

2011-08-13T21:36:00.000-07:00

Every weekend their seams to be a street fair on the Peninsula...

The kiddos always enjoy this museum--we saw the animals, insects, and fun hands on displays...and Keaton even discovered that putting pipes together to create a sculpture was fun!

2011-08-08T21:06:00.000-07:00

We looked at animals, we ate, we watched Keaton on rides, we ate, we made crafts, we ate & ate.... and of course Daddy had to try the newest addition of Fried food... the Fried Kool-Aid...we ended up all tasting it (it was like eating a bad donut hole with a little kool aid flavor ...definitely a one time thing!) I think Keaton had the most fun on all the rides especially when he talked Daddy into squeezing into the Monster truck ride! What a fun day with Family!

GIlroy Garlic Festival

2011-07-30T20:34:00.000-07:00

The Giroy Garlic Festival

Today we drove down to Gilroy to go to the famous Garlic Festival.

After the 2 hr drive (major traffic...it should have taken 1 hr) we hiked into the crowded hot festival. We meet up with Serena & Lindsay for some yummy eating and free giveaways. Then Keaton had a blast in the kids area in all the bounce houses..but all in all I think we did it once..and that was enough for us!

Central Park

2011-07-23T20:29:00.000-07:00

Wow....tons of people..but we squeezed in a spot just as it was beginning to start! The kids loved seeing all the fire trucks, old cars, bands & animals...it was a nice hometown feel. Then after we grabbed a bite to eat we headed back home on the train. We asked Keaton what was his favorite part...of course he said "TRAIN"!

Beautiful Day in the CITY

2011-06-21T23:40:00.000-07:00

When I heard the temperature was going to be in the high 70's today in the city... we hopped into the car and drove down to Crissy Field. We explored along Golden Gate Promenade till we ended up at Fort Point under the GG Bridge (What a view!), then we jogged back to explore the sand and water for a bit (but sand is a bit of a problem with a cast... ) We were hungry so we headed over across the street to have a picnic on a bench overlooking Palace of Fine Arts. The kids loved seeing the ducks and swans & running along the path. It was almost a perfect day

...all we were missing was daddy!!!

JUNE SO CAl VISIT/ DISNEYLAND

2011-06-12T23:29:00.000-07:00

We are so glad that we did not cancel our trip to So Cal. On Friday night Keaton fractured his finger & had to have 4 stitches (fyi: stacking wooded stools is not a good idea!) But, they said that we could not see an orthopedic doc until Monday....so we decided why not...what better way to cheer Keaton up than to see family. On Saturday we had to pick up meds & pack a little because we were in the hospital till 12 midnight...at least Aaron & Keaton were...but we arrived in Anaheim around dinner time & had a great dinner with both sets of Grandparents. The next day was our last trip (on our passes) to Disneyland. If was great to spend it with Grandma Sharon, Grandpa Vince & cousin Skylynn. We started off the day before the park opened at Minni & Friends Breakfast in the Park (yummy) then off to the rides & tons of characters. The kids had a blast! At the end of the day we relaxed watching Mickey's Soundsational parade & headed back to our hotel. Thank you for the fun...you will be missed S &V and Sky!

When Lily was sleeping Keaton decorated a pine cone with peanut-butter. Then sprinkled some bird seed all over. We hung it on a branch outside to see if the birds would eat it...but guess who got to it first...

Mr. Squirrel

It was fun to watch the squirrel hang upside down determined to eat every last bit of Keaton's creation...he did not even let the birds near it!!!

2011-05-21T21:02:00.000-07:00

On the way out we stopped to see the penguins, macaw birds, swans and the beautiful grounds of the hotel! Then we set up camp on the beach for a few hours for some early morning fun. The kiddos enjoyed the beach gear that we rented & had a blast getting sandy, eating sand, building sand castles, digging holes & playing in & with the ocean water! Then we showered off and set off for the Sugar Cane Train. We stopped off in Lahaina for some lunch at Cheeseburgers in Paradise & after at the Ono Gelato Co for some good desert!

We had a fun day exploring North Beach in San Francisco! We started out at Pier 39, then took a walk down to Boudin Sourdough Bakery for lunch, then walked past Fisherman Wharf to rest up in the Maritime Park, then to Ghirardelli Square for some shopping, then back by pier 39 to catch to "F" line trolley and stopped off at the Ferry Building for some gelato!
