San Francisco (July 2009)

















Ingrid's week in San Francisco was full of new things. Dolphins at Baker Beach with Daddy every morning. A picnic lunch with Nate at Mountain Lake Park, where she got to climb a tree, see lots of ducks, pigeons and seagulls and briefly play with Nate's water wheel. Highlights of a trip to the zoo were flamingos, lunch, a giant pine cone (aka "lava"), the insect room (especially the bees "bug bug bug") and bears (she growled at the bears). Highlight for me? A ride on the Little Puffer steam train. Watching thousands of people running the San Francisco marathon (well actually, that is what I did. Ingrid ate a bagel and watched doggies). Afterward, Ingrid had her friends over for playtime, cupcakes and pizza and enjoyed her first tricycle ride thanks to Moira. We also had a great trip to the playground in Golden Gate Park where Ingrid had multiple carousel rides on a horse and a lion, climbed all over the play structures and swung in swings that went MUCH higher that the ones she is used to. Unfortunately those pictures were lost...

Oh my those are some cute kiddie pictures! I remember the foggy playground! Nate is finally "over" his that "water wheel," thank god. Everyone would borrow that at the playground. Now he is trying to keep up with the big kids at the park and getting into lots of games of chase.
