Week Two

Well, we've had another adventurous week here in California! It is so fun to see all these amazing places that I would maybe never have seen otherwise.

Last Sunday we drove across the Bay to the Oakland temple. They have a great visitors center and some great views around the temple grounds.

Ryan had a 4 day weekend, getting both Friday and Monday off for the holiday, so we had some more fun in San Francisco. Our first stop was the Exploratorium Museum. We didn't actually take many pictures inside because we were too busy playing, but they have lots of cool science exhibits to see and play with. This is the view from the outside...isn't it amazing?

After the museum, we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge! The views would have been better if we weren't in the car, but it was still so cool!

View of San Fran from the bridgeAcross the Golden Gate Bridge is Muir Woods National Park. They have paths to walk and hike through the beautiful Redwood trees.

Haha. I was a little worried when I saw this sign. Not only were my kids wired after drinking a Slurpee from 7-11, but also because Mabry doesn't really have the best 'quiet mode'. This is the little girl who in church, if you say, "shh, be quiet", replies with, "NO MOM, LOUD!"

People didn't really seem to mind, except for the time Mabry decided to yell, "I see a bear"! About 10 people turned around in our direction, and I apologized for the false alarm. It's been fun to see the girls getting to an age where they can actually play and interact more together. It makes for some sweet moments.

And at the end of the day... we're still wearing them out with all the fun.
