Playing in San Francisco

Just a few pics of the kids enjoying the City.  My favorite is Father and Son looking for a ball under the entertainment hutch.  I love that picture!  : )

Free Day at Cal Academy of Sciences

We took advantage of another free day at the Cal Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park today.  This time the kids were walking (ok, running) where last time they were still in the Bjorn’s.  It actually worked out great and they loved it.  We enjoyed it more too because they were so excited.  We walked through the rainforest and the kids loved the butterflies and Macaw parrot.  Then we went underground to the Amazon Flooded Rainforest to see all the fish.  Siena was a little bit intimidated by the large fish but otherwise they both had a blast.  Next we took the kids into the Early Explorers Cove where they were able to run around and just play.  It was perfect for them and they loved it.  We are looking forward to our next free day in October so we can explore more!

Pebble Beach

Although Jack & Siena were not at Pebble Beach today, we couldn’t let this amazing experience go by without proper recognition on our family blog.  For Kevin’s 40th, a bunch of his buddies gave him a round of golf at Pebble Beach.  WOW!  Very generous and nice especially considering that none of them really play golf.  : )

Luckily Kevin found a buddy, Moh Palizi, who was available to play with him on a Monday.  The best part of the experience was seeing the course set-up for the US Open that started a week later.

Tiburon Bike Ride

To celebrate a belated Mother’s Day we took the kids on their first bike ride today in Tiburon.  At first the kids weren’t too wild about sitting in a bike trailer behind Daddy but after a while they were enjoying it.  Then Siena’s helmet started to fall and cover her face.  From that point on the new experience of bike riding went quickly down hill.  Poor little kids. What torturous parents!!  Next time we will try the toddler seats on top of the bike so that they can see what is going on and not feel so cramped and hot.

Rocklin Visit

We headed up to Rocklin this weekend for Emily’s 11th Birthday and Sierra’s Spring Concert.  We didn’t do a good job of taking pictures but we did get a few cute ones of Jack wearing his first backpack (filled with blocks).  He looks SO BIG!  Where did our babies go???

18 Months

We took another trip to JC Penny’s this week to capture our cuties in their second official photo session.  Thankfully Nonnie was there to help and keep the babies smiling and out of mischief.  We couldn’t have done it without you Nonnie!

Jack took much more to this experience than last time.  He was a superstar full of smiles, energy and laughs.  Siena is still getting used to her role as a model but she stuck with it and we were able to get a few pictures of her sweet smile.

Enjoy!

Visiting Pop McGourty

We FINALLY went to go visit Megan’s Dad at the cemetery and take a birth announcement to share with him.  It was the first time Jack & Siena had been to Pop’s grave site and they actually did really well wondering around the cemetery helping us looking for the headstone.  ; )  By the time we found the site they were a bit tired but at least they were able to “meet” their other Grandpa.  We love you Dad/Pop!
