Muir Woods

It was a beautiful day walking through the beautiful redwoods at Muir Woods. I hadn't  been there since I was a kid. We went with Uncle Eric who was a great guide. The weather was cool and the trees were huge! Another fun experience.

Happy 4th of July!

Another fun day! We started the day by making some yummy firework cookies inspired by Aunt Meggie. We went swimming and had a BBQ for dinner. We headed over to watch fireworks and it was so fun to watch the fireworks from Grampy's truck.  

Jelly Belly Factory

We toured the Jelly Belly Factory. Fun fun!

Oakland Zoo

Today we went to the Oakland Zoo. It was a great day to go. It was overcast and a little drizzly so the zoo was not crowded at all. It was so much fun looking at the animals. Ellie's favorite were the flamingos, Mason's favorite was the elephant, and Cassidy's favorites were the giraffes and the zebras. The chimpanzees were lively today and put on an entertaining show. They were moving all around, pushing a wagon and making awesome noises. I was personally impressed by watching the otters swim. I think the winning moment of the day was witnessing the elephant poop and pee. That was quite a sight for all of us!

Pixieland

We love to go to Pixieland! My mom and I were trying to figure out how long this place has been around. I went there when I was Mason's age so that's at least 25 years ago, and even then it had been around awhile. We always have a good time. This visit was the first time that Ellie and Cassidy went on the roller coaster. It was pretty fast! Ellie liked it. Cassidy was a little scared, but happy that she was brave enough to try it!
