Gilroy Gardens

Rapellas and Kaye and Bill met us at Gilroy Gardens for one last good bye. This has been quite a week...dinner with Watsons, dinner with Wakefields, dinner with Andy and Yesi, Dessert with Jennifer and Gilroy Gardens with Rapellas and Mills. Thank you everyone!

Circus of Trees- the original Four Legged tree from the 1920's

For years (literally), we've talked about going to Bonfonte Gardens with Rapellas. We went today and had a memorable day. Hudson was sooo good, just tagging along. There wasn't much for him to do, but he was happy just being there.

Spinning with another little girl named Kaley......It was very cute when they'd bump into each other throughout the day.

Kaleys Beach Monkey Party

Kaley had her Kindergarten party on Monday...theme...Beach Monkeys. The monkeys all had a blast!

This photo of Kaley and Brian cracks me up... They look like a little old couple just returning from a vacation in Florida.

Visit to Grandpa Rons'

One of our last out of town visits was to Fresno to say bye to Grandpa Ron and Wilma. We had a really enjoyable afternoon. Wilma made us good luck noodles, which was very thoughtful. The temperature of the water was perfect and the girls (mommy and daddy, too) had a ball swimming. Ainlsey got right in and started swimming (didn't seem to forget much over the last year- thank you Miss Heidi!). Kaley stuck to the side, but by the time it was time ot leave, she was feeling more comfortable and confident. A couple more times in the pool and she should be up and swimming again. Grandpa bbq'd for us and we stayed for lunch and dinner. It was a nice day!

Albino Alligator w/Pink Eyes- a favorite of the Ainsley and Kaley!

At the movie BUGS! 3D- Kaley decided she liked watching the movie without the glasses.

In the Rainforest

Bromelian Tree Frogs

Yes, we saw Blue Butterflies- very exciting part of our visit. Ainlsey was reminded of our book- A Blue Butterfly (story about Monet) and Kaley talked about our Fancy Nancy book, in which Fancy Nancy has a fascination with blue butterflies....oiu, oui, oui.

I liked this one.
