Tour Guide

You wouldn't believe how many activities you can fit into less than a week. I had a blast being the tour guide here in the bay area for Jennifer and her kids! I had a week off work and so Jennifer made one last trip for the summer with her family and came to visit us. We loved having them despite our little space here. We made it work and had so much fun. So here is what we did in the first two days they were here. Not to mention the night before when they arrived we went to the park. I'll let the pictures help me tell the story.

Monteray Bay Aquarium
Can you spot the seahorse? Yes the leafy thing is part of the sea horse. If you look closely you can see one of the faces. Crazy I know. The sea horses were my favorite. They are more species of sea horses than you would ever know.

After the Aquarium we headed over the the beach, Carmel beach
We all loved the beach. The kids could have played in that cold water all day. It was a very warm and beautiful day so the cold water wasn't so bad.

I think this is the only picture I got of us the entire week. It was very windy.

The next day went to the Jelly Belly Factory

We got to wear cool little hats and everything, we even got free little packs of jelly bellies. Did you know it takes 21 days to make a jelly belly??

After the Jelly Belly Factory we drove over the bay bridge and to the coast where the San Francisco Zoo is.
That can't be comfortable!

There were several gorilla's outside that day including a baby gorilla. So cute!
The Grizzly Bear came right up to the glass and put her paws right on Dallin's hands.

Sister Grizzlies
Each evening they were here we had a slumber party with movies and treats and played with Rhona. Lyndee and Rhona were best friends. Lyndee always wanted to play with Rhona and Rhona was watching Lyndee's every move wanting Lyndee's attention the whole time. We had a lot of fun. But the fun didn't stop there..............Part 2 coming soon.
