Miss Eccentric

Ainsley still likes dressing up....this time, she was scarf lady.

Friday night, we went to the Giants game. The Giants played the Diamondbacks and while the Giants did not win, it was an exciting game. Barry Bonds hit one hit out of the stadium, which was is 750 home run. AT&T Field (or whatever the name is at the moment) set off fireworks and steam blew out from all the chimneys surrounding the stadium. It was really quite something to see. We had two fly balls land very close to us. We had a guy with no ticket sitting behind us try to hand security a $20.00 instead of his ticket when asked for it. Later, he made an appearance on the field. He just wanted to say Hi to Barry. Lou Seal amused the girls for quite a while. They would giggle and giggle when he would wave to them. Up close, Kaley wanted nothing to do with him, but Ainsley was ready for a hug and photo. Ainsley climbed to the top of the Coke slide and went down twice. We sat in the Macys seat on the club level and they are just like being on the field. We had a really good evening.

White ribbon of Excellence for our swimmers

Karen and Phil were great teachers this summer for swim

lessons. Kaley has turned into quite a little fish and Ainsley did well, too. Here they are with their white ribbons of excellence.

Ainsley and her tennis class

Ainsley, too, has been taking tennis through PH Park and Rec. Both girls really seem to enjoy taking lessons. It is fun to go out and play with them!

Kaley's carrot

We pulled some carrots today. They were left in the ground a bit too long and some "creature" got to it first. The girls had fun pulling and washing their carrots, but chose not to eat them!

Lawn Darts with Q-Tips

Dr. Ainsley and Kaley were out jumping rope yesterday when Ainsley reached into her pocket and pulled out q-tips. She then exclaimed, "we can play lawn darts with the q-tips"... The girls played this game for the longest time.

Splish Fish

Good job Kaley. Last year, the teen teachers at the nearby Cabana Club allowed Kaley to sit on the side for two weeks. What a diference one year and new teachers can make!

Kick, Kaley, kick

Getting into her "zone"

Another happy girl!

The girls are taking swim lessons....again...this year. Our friends, the Stevensons, suggested this swim school and boy, are they good! The progress we've made in one week is amazing. I am looking forward to the end of next week. The girls will be in good shape for swimming at Grandma Kaye's when we go to Fresno to celebrate Grandpa Ron's birthday with him over July 4th..

Butano State Park

After leaving Costanoa, we took a side trip to Butano State Park. Situated in the redwoods, Butano has lots of trails. We parked along the road and took a walk through the redwoods. It was very serene.

Holy Trini tree-

We were walking along when Ainsley grabbed my arm and said "mommy, look it is just like the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One God, three persons". Thank you to Glenna for reading the book "3-in-1" during the childrens liturgy at Mass a few weeks ago during Holy Trinity Sunday. I was taken back that Ainsley would look at this growth of redwoods and come up with her observation. She then giggled and said "Holy Trini tree"...

As quickly as she pointed out the Holy Trini tree...she moved on to banana slugs. Ainsley and Kaley really liked petting them.....yuck! Kaley wanted to bring them home, because they were....yellow.
