6/12 - Skeletons love camping

Skeleton tried to climb into this tent, but the people it belonged to screamed and ran away. Poor Skelly.  He’d be so good at telling spooky stories around the campfire.

Skeleton rates that burger a "10." He pretended he had ketchup in his eyes.  I pretended I did not get ketchup on my white shirt.

How was Field Day today?

6/11 - Slugina shushes the flowers

They were blooming too brightly for her serious sluggy ears.

Random Monday moment:  I saw a corndog in a ziplock bag at the side of the stairs this morning.  (BART escalator broken again!)  Why??

Slugina was not impressed with these circus tricks.  She waited for someone to pick her up and add her to the stack (she has mad circus skills), but they did not see her. She slimed off in a huff.

6/10 - Weekend fun: Lake edition

This weekend, the twins were under some kind of spell, or perhaps I was being punk'd?  Whatever the reason, I was thrilled, and we had a great time.  We raked the yard and had picnics under the plum tree.

Lil' Gal was finally granted her wish (and mine!) to do the dishes.

We went garage sale-ing and got some new little toys.

And we finally went for a hike at the lake, which was even more gorgeous than anyone suspected.  We liked it so much, we went back on Sunday too!

my flappy baby birds  :)

6/08 - Police Car does the math

Usually, the police make the bad guys line up.  Today, Police Car got in the line-up with the fire engines.  That’s a good line-up!

The sign said “5 Star Parking,” but Police Car only has 3 stars on him.  How many stars does he need to park in that lot?

They threw these monkeys a tea party to celebrate the queen’s jubilee.   I guess going crazy for cupcakes is a universal (multiversal?) thing.

6/07 - Mario and the super skinny building

This is the famous Flatiron Building.  Isn’t it cute?

We saw a really groovy bus on the way to lunch.  The driver said it was a Magic Bus.  Dude.

6/06 - Miss Kitty wants to wave to President Obama

Look who “Miss Kitty” saw on BART today – herself on a shopping bag!  Miss Kitty says hello, big smile.

There were crowds gathered in the street as we walked back from lunch, waiting to see President Obama drive by on his way to lunch.  We would have stayed to watch too, but we had a meeting.

6/05 - Beluga whale behind glass

We saw these windows waiting to be installed and Beluga pretended she was in a fishbowl. Silly Beluga.  Everyone knows you can’t fit a whale in a fishbowl!

Beluga was feeling a bit thirsty, so she took a quick dip in this splashy fountain.  Ahhhhh.

6/04 - Petie the Sea Lion flippers out

This was the view of the rain clouds from the BART platform this morning. I missed having you guys on the train with me today.

How is a sea lion supposed to take the stairs?  Come on, BART!

6/03 - Weekend fun: Aquarium edition

This weekend was one of those big weekends, where things feel epic and you are tired at the end of it, but happy nonetheless.  Saturday was a day of challenges, but we did have this cute moment where the twins took their babies in the car.

Sunday was a most excellent adventure to the Aquarium of the Bay.  BART was on time.

We arrived at Pier 39.

And then we saw all kinds of wonderful creatures from our very own Bay.

We had lunch with a view of sea lions.

Many thanks to David and Joanne for their mad twin-wrangling skillz!

6/01 - Old Yeller wants to ride the rails

Can you find the number 54 on this cable car?

And then it was a day with lots going on...  Yay weekend!
