More California Adventures

We spent the second half of the week with Zig. We stayed in Palo Alto the first two days and San Jose the last three. While Zig was working we stayed at the hotel and rested. I found a Whole Foods quickly and we just took it easy. Friday we went to the TellMe offices to see where Zig spends his time when in Mountain View. What a fun place! Such a different work climate than Microsoft. I'm too tired to describe it right now, but the kids really enjoyed seeing what Zig has been up to and meeting some of his co-workers. They were very impressed with the huge game room as well.

We stayed across the street from Stanford so we took the kids to see the campus one afternoon. We met friends for dinner the other two evenings and Evan's crazy schedule finally caught up with him. It's was rather exhausting trying to appease him for three hours or so. The other major stops were Half Moon Bay where the tide pools were incredible and Santa Cruz where we were all sucked into watching the surfing.

We spent Sunday in San Francisco and went to church there as well. Of course, we did lots of driving around looking at houses and neighborhoods which we always love to do no matter where we are. And we came home early Monday morning. It was very good to be back. We were excited to see all the new goodies in the garden and the kids ran straight to their treehouse. The neighbor kids were over in 6 minutes flat and we were back into our regular summer rhythmn. The only bummer is we have only a week left of summer. I'm seriously mourning the end summer.

Rollin was fascinated by the Koi Pond

Sela was able to practice her swimming quite a bit (I was happy to do nothing other than sit by the pool!)

Evan was not very photogenic this weekend!


He loves to be held, and I was happy to just sit and chill this week. We're a good team.

Nina takes good care of Evan and LOVES to snuggle up to him.
