Mis-posted!

This was mistakenly put on the TBB blog. Ebba let me know about it today... :)

The summer is almost over, but we are still fitting in adventure after adventure crossing things off our list (only biking in golden gate park, seeing an A's game and camping are left). Yesterday we took the ferry to SF, walked to Pier 39, did the aquarium, saw the sea lions and rode home. It was a long day, but the weather (even though we thought it was going to be cold) was beautiful. Jenna and her kids Taran and Kaya came with us and everyone had a great time until close to the end of the day when Taran got annoyed that Elizabeth took her merry go round horse, Miranda melted dow, and Parker got tired. I guess having them walk from from the ferry building to fisherman's wharf was a bit much.

Elizabeth can't pass a pole and not climb it.
The others followed suit.




The kids played on these ship tie down things for a long time.

Then today, we took the kids to fly kites at the Berkeley Marina. We have yet to have a successful kite flying day, but today was magnificent. All three kids got their kites up and got them up high. Parker started crying at one point saying that he was scared Elizabeth's kite was going to fly away it was so high and take her with it. He was legitimately concerned about this possibility. And yeah, I painted their faces again
