Disneyland

We had a fun-filled 5 days & nights at Disneyland.  It was great because we could take our time and not get exhausted.  Ryker loved the "space train" (monorail) and the Buzz Lightyear ride and the water park and meeting Lightening McQueen and 3D movies and so forth and so on.  Keelin LOVED rollercoasters and meeting the princesses.

Disneyland

Yes, we did it:  the big trip to Disneyland.  5 nights.  8 hour drive each way.  2 kids.  It was exhausting, but we had a great time.  I took Keelin to Ariel's Grotto for the "Princess" lunch (they all come around for photos), we say the High School Musical show, fireworks, went on lots of rides, met Mickey, "Bzzzzzz Lightyear", Mary Poppins, and lots of other characters. 

Summer in San Francisco



We did so many fun things together:  bus rides, trolley rides, boat rides, cable car (and museum), the zoo, Golden Gate Park, Discovery Bay Museum, Day Street Park, Mitchell's ice cream, Lovejoy's Tea Shop, Terra Mia pottery painting, Disney's Aladdin musical, California Academy of Sciences, the Aquarium, In-N-Out burger for fries and vanilla shakes, Krispey Kreme donuts, and so on.  We also ate the strawberries and tomatoes that we grew on the decks, played with ALL of their toys, rode bikes and dump trucks (guess who). 

Ryker Graduates from Nursery School

I guess there are events to celebrate all sorts of different life stages.  Today Ryker "graduated" from The Hummingbirds.  He had a wonderful year with Adela, Alex and Idania, but it is time to move on to "big boy school" (pre-K) in the fall.
