Let's Go For a Walk

One thing we've done several times over the years has been to walk the Golden Gate Bridge. Whether it has been with grandparents, cousins, or friends we've always enjoyed the walk. A good thing about this area is that as they've been replacing old bridges they've also been adding pedestrian/bike paths as well.

Since this week the girls are out of school, and the weather has been nice, we decided to walk across the newest bridge. It was just Annalise & I (plus friends) as Robyn ended up bowling with a friend's family. This was probably for the best.

Vista Point view -- overlooking the straits and the mothball fleet -- see the beautiful day.

This was the view we had of the girls on the way across the bridge. Never once did they walk with us. It was either way in front or way in back.

We had a great time, but boy, were our feet were tired that night.

Now, where is . . .

Anyone who has been to my house has to know that decorating is not my forte. Heck, I have a hard time keeping the house tidy. But the other day when I was at Target I made a purchase that I'm pretty proud of (and the family likes as well) . . .

Now we have a new (functioning) shower curtain and Annalise can complete her geography homework at the the same time. I just love multi - purpose items. :)

Fancy Nancy

Last Saturday we went to a Fancy Nancy party at the local bookstore. In order to attend Robyn had to dress up special for the occasion.

There was coloring,

storytelling,

and general crafty fun.

Next week there will be a Polar Express party and I've been told we have to attend. I guess I have a party girl in my house.

One more to go

Well, Saturday was supposed to be the last game but because the league cancelled all soccer games a couple of weeks ago, they added one more game. So next week, for sure, will be the last game of the season. Yea!

For this game the girls wore a different color jersey. The other team's colors were really close to ours, so the our coach gave the girls a different color to wear. I happen to like the green plaid, but then green is my favorite color. My oldest daughter did not agree with me. She thought they should be called the Nerds because "only nerds wear plaid." So we disagreed, and I'm thinking that this will be the start of a long line of differences of opinions . . .
