Boy were May and June crazy months. Fun but crazy. There were field trips, farewell parties, Mom's day functions, Dad's day and so forth. Mom's Day was really nice although Eden and I were quite sick. She had fevers and I had tummy pains and just sick. We made it to our annual mother's day tea in San Francisco just barely and it was really quite lovely for the first 20 minutes. And them something happened. My girls started arguing and kicking each other under the table. I quickly texted Enrique 'come and get your kids!' So let's just say it was memorable. And I really did enjoy the delicious tea and gourmet finger foods. What did I expect from sick kids though, mid day. So after, we took drive to China town. Toured the fortune cookie company (yum!), bought a few fun toys for pennies, then off we went for dinner at Everett and Jone's in Oakland. In spite of not feeling well and the fights, it was really nice.
Lola had her last kinder trip to Livorna park in Alamo. Enrique went on this trip .I had been on every one of her field trips and yes, Eden noticed and said I was going on one of her trips...so I was with Eden at the Roller skating Rink in San Ramon. This was FUN! I hadn't really skated since I was a kid. I never once fell so that's a plus. And I really enjoyed spending this time with her. Even though she spent an lot of time in the center with her friends. I was there to supply quarters for the games and all. It's not always Eden gets one on one time with me as you can imagine. It's been a long long time since we've been a twosome. So this was really lovely. She's growing so fast and I feel like I miss so much. Anytime we get to spend together is very precious. And valued time.
For Dad's day the girls wanted to take Enrique fishing. We hadn't been to Lake Berryessa since before the kids so we decided to go. It really was a nice warm day. The girls swam in the lake, Roman tumbled into some thistle weeds (poor kiddo...he's just so into everything!), and we fished a bit. Caught nothing but had a memorable time. We gave Enrique some fun Barbequeing gifts from Williams Sonoma...so he bbq'd later that night. Bacon wrapped scallops and Prime Rib Eye steaks...so divine!
When school ended we decided to take a long camping trip to Big Sur. The weather was fantastic! We hiked everywhere and even saw a few critters we've never seen before so up close...a mini scorpion, a millipede, a snake, to name a few! We got to enjoy the beaches there as well. It was the perfect way to welcome summer and to just have some time as a family.
Next up...camps! And soon Roman turns ONE!!!!!
