World Record- Guitar attendance







We took part in setting a world record for the most people strumming the same song....for over six minutes. We played "This land is your land, this land is my land" by Woodie Guthrie. The number to beat was 1400+, and the last count (still needs to be confirmed) was we were over 2000. Go Concord and Joe McDonald (who did our count down)!




Crazy hair day

We had a couple of theme days at VBS. On Tuesday, the little ones brought in the their favorite stuffed animal, Wednesday was dress up day, Thursday, PJ day and Friday, Crazy hair day. Ainlsey came up with this one on her own.



VBS- Son World Adventure Park

We had VBS two weeks ago. Our helper was Miss Kimi and Mrs. Kass led our crafts each day. We made many cute items, but boo-boo bunnies and puppies were among the favorites of the children.


Kaley and her violin

Kaley started violin lessons at Civic Arts two weeks ago...and she loves it.

Valenine's Day in the City



It's Tulipmania time again at Pier 39 and we were there to draw the tulips.


Ainsley's flower. We missed the docent tour, but this flower seemed to be one of a kind.



Kaley's flower, PrimulaThe tulips were in bloom the best we've seen in 3 years!!! So many vivid colors.

We draw at the same place each year- right by the statues of the Sea Lions, which we must climb when we're done. This is the view from the 8th level (roof) of the Ellis/O'Farrell Garage, which is where we park when we pick up daddy from work.

Hey Hey Hey......It's Fat Albert and the Blue Angels

Thank you Michael for continuing to take me to the City each year to see these amazing planes. Attending Fleet week is such a nice reminder of not only our Wedding Day but also my childhood. Thank You, you're the best!

Fleet Week/Air Show 2007

Wahoo!!! I don't know what I enjoy more....the Blue Angels or watching Ainsley do her "ballet" on the beach. She just slips into her own little world when dancing...a world filled with delight. Ah, to be so young!!





Really Old Pictures- Columbus Day Parade

We spent our anniversary in the City and each time we go in, we stumble upon something fun. After getting our pizza at the place where it is sold out of the window, we usually head for the airshow. This year, however, we were walking down Columbus Street w/ our pizza in hand when we decided to stop and watch the parade. We were able to "score" a table right on the street. Considering how long the parade was, the girls were great and did not want to leave.
