A jungle inside!

We’ve been enjoying going to this fun place where the kids can play and play on a rainy day. They have a huge jungle gym thing the kids can play and climb on while the moms can chat. Lola really loves going there.

End of Semester at Dance/Gym

Going to Dance and Gym once a week is such a treat for Lola. She had her end of semester show where they did a little hula dance and showed their skills on the gym stuff. She was not in her usual class because of a cold so she was a little nervous at first. We sure love watching her do her performance.

Fun time @ museum

The water fun section at the kids museum is so mesmerizing for the kids. Lola could play there all day. They have cyclones and water fountains and waterway play. Her boyfriends met us there one day. They had fun painting their faces like whales.

Teddy Bear Cake

When our old neighbors had their baby we found out it was a girl-Yeah!- so we made a cake to celebrate. Here’s a baby Emma Cake!

Fortune Cookies

In preparation for the coming Chinese New Year, we made some homemade fortune cookies. The hardest part was coming up with some fortunes. Lola’s favorite was “You are a hotdog on a stick” Inside joke of course.

New Bike! New Bike!

How exciting to buy our girl her first Bicycle! She was at the store when we picked one out and her only criteria was that the bike needed a purse. She helped daddy add the training wheels with the wrench. And made sure the ‘purse’ was on just right.

Snakes!

Loving the fact that my little girl is so into animals and that she is not squirmish around reptiles or amphibians. Here’s a snake we both like to check out at the local refuge, the San Francisco garter snake 🙂 She looks forward to petting the boa during the animal show. Another fun thing to do here is play at a pretty awesome park and for some reason there were about 20 Turkey Vultures lurking around the tops of some of the trees.

Dinner date :)

Santa Cruz.. wait a minute weren’t we just here?

Running through the sand on the beach is never boring for my three year old. When Grammy came to town the weekend after her brothers, Lola was very anxious to take Grammy to see the ocean and ride the historical carousel.
