Leaving on a Jet Plane!

The day after closing on the new house we were on our way to sunny Sacramento to visit Carrie & Josh, and Steve had a work conference in San Francisco. The girls were super on the airplane and Brooklynn loved looking out the window.

The week before we arrived it had been triple digits sweltering heat, but it really cooled off when we were there. The first day we all took the girls to Fairy Tale Town. Although Brooklynn had an accident (and mommy forgot to pack extra pants), we still had a fun time. Here she is monkeying around the Sherwood Forrest.
Chandler is our little daredevil that will go down any slide. Can't wait to see what she'll be doing next - skydiving perhaps?
Brooklynn was ecstatic to see "Cinderella's coach" and ride the horsie. She has been obsessed with princesses (mostly Snow White & Cinderella) and had to sing "Bippity Boppity Boop".

Carrie & Josh are all always the suckers and love to spoil their nieces. So when they saw the face painting lady they couldn't resist. Here's Brooklynn with her "magic wand".


On Sunday Steve and I drove to San Fran for some adult time. Sunday we shopped and hung out at Union Square. Monday we decided to take a ferry to Angel Island, which we had never done. Once there we hiked around the island and enjoyed the quiet, peaceful state park away from the city.

On Wednesday Carrie and I drove the girls to Davis to meet up with Aunt Peg at the farmer's market. We had a good time in the jumpy house, eating dinner, and dancing to the band. Brooklynn even got her favorite - a popsicle! Of course I bought the blueberry one not thinking about the stains. Oops!

*Also, I forgot to mention our huge accomplishment this summer - Brooklynn is now potty trained. She's done so well and can even go on long car trips now. One done....one to go.
