Watch us grow!
It’s one of our favorite times of the year! May is a great time to go cherry picking and that’s what we did this morning.
We picked and took home 16 pounds of cherries today and Peanut probably ate a pound on his own while we were picking.
The kids drew a picture of their morning and Peanut included all the cherry pits that he spit onto the dirt while we picked.
It’s a back-to-back morning with KF and swim so we stopped at Jane Sweeney Park between the two classes.
This park is huge and has lots of fun things to explore.
The best part was the zipline.
The kids joined Mama at Tomatina for dinner tonight. They did a great job working on their puzzle placemats while they waited for their food. It’s nice that Peanut can do word searches and mazes now.
We went to Godfrey Park after school today with Maya. They did a great job safely following Mama on their bikes.
Afterschool, Dada took Peanut to the park to practice monkey bars. It’s the one Kindergarten skill that he hadn’t been able to practice or master because schools and playgrounds were closed. It was so good to see him finally be able to cross them on his own.
Today we rode bikes to the school playground and someone was already inside so they opened the gate for us. The kids enjoyed playing on the big kid playground and wall ball with Dada.
There was also a game of dodgeball that I think Dada enjoyed a little too much.
After two failed attempts, we finally got to go to Oakland Zoo today!
Look at these baby ducks!! So cute!
The kids love the gondola ride. You can see Alameda from up there!
Today is KK’s birthday!! She turns 9 today and I tend to get sentimental when the first born has a birthday.
She opened her gift from Auntie Jia and Uncle Jason and loves her new scooter!
In the morning, she went to school and found her desk all decorated. They also had a digital birthday wall with messages left by her classmates.
We also went to dinner at Trabocco for a tasty birthday meal.
The chef came out with a birthday treat and sang “Happy Birthday” to her.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! We love you!
It’s our last morning here and we couldn’t help take one last photo of the spectacular view from the lanai.
It was a fun trip and we hope we can return again soon.
Peanut and Mama went to Leonard’s Bakery to pick up some tasty malasadas this morning.
Then it was off to the beach for the rest of the day.
The kids helped tow Dada into the ocean today on the donut floaties. They looked pretty ridiculous out there.
