Oakland in August






If I had to choose, of all the summer days, this was by-far my FAVORITE. Everyone was in a good mood, the weather was perfect and it was fun just being together. It didn't hurt that I got to do exactly what I wanted and had everything my way. We spent some time at the Oakland Temple and then stopped at the Zoo on the way home. We have a season pass and I've had my heart set on doing the SkyRide, but can't when I'm alone with the kids. With Jason there, we stopped for a quick ride. Adam loved it. I kept imagining one of us slipping out into the lion cage below. Fortunately for the lions, that didn't happen and the view of the Bay was as gorgeous as I had imagined. If the pictures had sound you might hear me yelling ahead to Jason to hold on tighter to Adam...he thought he owned the ride and would wave and holler to everyone we passed. A chocolate Frosty put the finishing touches on our perfect day...it is my favorite memory of the summer.

Such fun pictures! I can't believe how big everyone is! Where does the time go? Looking at your birthday picture made me realize how much things have changed...I didn't even recognize half the people. And Emmie getting her ears pierced...I'll have to show Sammy. She is still too scared herself. Love it all!
