Andy, watching Clan Tynker at the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair. He so loves their shows. And his ability to completely suspend disbelief and just live the moment.... I'd love to be able to do that as easily as he does, and just. live. this. moment.

Andy and Eliza regularly play their DS games together at park day, or the farm, or anywhere else we hang out with the tribe.

We visited a local shoreline park in Mountain View with the grandparents. We spent an hour on a pedal boat -- no pictures, but it was lots of fun and involved several chinese fire drill- style seating changes. Afterwards, we walked the path to a playground, where the boys played in the sand, we walked over to look at the bay, and had ice cream.
Later that day, we had a surprise birthday party for Gary's Mom at a cousin's home in San Jose. Again, no pix, tho my father in law took some. I'm sure they're on the way to us by mail now!

In the water
Dan preparing to body surf
Time to go home. Not exactly Baywatch, but the cutest trio I saw on the beach that day -- or any day!At the recommendation of several friends and family, our beach day was spent at Santa Cruz. First, tho, we had a wonderfully drive on winding, narrow roads thru the mountains to satisfy Gary's need for a fun drive.
The boys loved the beach. Andy spent about 3 hours in the water. Dan learned to body surf and fed a sea gull. We saw sea lions at both Fisherman's Wharf and the pier at Santa Cruz beach.
This is the closest I got to the ocean. It was only about 78 degrees out, just not warm enough for me to want to swim, tho I did get wet to my knees as the surf crashed in while I took photos.

We spent the day in San Francisco. We saw Fishermans' Wharf (Pier 39), Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum (a huge hit with the kids -- filled with the strangest stuff you ever imagined, only stranger), drove up and down some very steep streets, which made me nervous (which the kids found hilarious!), and drove down Lombard 'the crookedest street in America' which is downhill only and all hairpin turns. At the bottom of Lombard street, just as I've recovered from the very steep downhill, people are standing in the street taking pictures of hill -- more obstacles to make me nervous! Thank goodness Gary was driving!

These photos are all from our vacation to California, to surprise Grandma for her 80th birthday.
Here she's hugging Andy -- and very surprised!
