Bay Area Trip!

Back to back party weekends meant a loooong vacation in the Bay Area! This time we stayed up there for two weeks!

One day we went to the Pulgas Water Temple with grandpa...

The temple recognizes the great achievement of bringing water to the Bay Area from 160 miles away.

Grandpa and Ethan checking out the water below!

Trying to hide from the camera!

Enjoying the time to explore!

Grandpa snuggles!

On another day we went to the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo with grandma...

Loving the switches! On this visit he actually understood how it all worked!

Loving the baby area now that she can crawl around!

Exploring the zoo area.

All smiles!

All three kiddos!

Having fun with grandma!

Enjoying the sun during our picnic lunch! (P.S. Like the hat?)

We also went to the park...

Entertained by putting bark onto the slide.

The train was running on this day and we thought they would enjoy it! Poor Katelyn wasn't very sure about the ride and only made it around once. Ethan braved it until the very end!

Emily and her snuggle buddy, Uncle James!

On a Friday evening we had dinner in the park while enjoying a summer concert....

Great idea Auntie Jo!

Enjoying the music and dinner!

Trying to stay warm!

Most importantly, enjoying dessert.

We just love Fairyland, and went again for another visit...

Has anyone seen the yellow brick road?

Waiting in line for the train!

Train time!

We also checked out a Children's Museum in Berkeley...

Hard to believe there was a time when Ethan wouldn't put on costumes!

A fire?

Driving to the rescue!

Exploring!

Loving a little independence!

Face painting with daddy!

While the girls were away, everyone else checked out Lemos Farm...

Feeding the goats!

Train time!

Rocky rocky, as Emily would say.

At the controls!

First time in a bounce house and the girls loved it!

We were also up there for Father's Day, snuggling with daddy!

All the fathers on Father's Day!
