enjoying some chalk art

When I went to the grocery store this week, I couldn't help myself when I saw some sidewalk chalk on sale for $0.50. What better way to keep Will occupied & out of the house while not feeling guilty about my inability to chase him around & play with him? He had a great time, & it took up such a large chunk of the day w/o being in front of the TV - always a good thing!

even his turtle got a little makeover

Will also kept getting distracted by a big fat lizard in our yard. That thing is making out really well with all the bugs & spiders we have in the rock wall. I'm grateful something is helping control the "buggie" nastiness. Plus it's fun to watch Will chase it around - that thing is fast.

Family Reunion - Final Days: Stinson Beach

We pretty much spent the rest of our family reunion time at the beach.

On our final day, Papa set up a pinata for all the grandkids - 18 of them!

Some of the best prizes were mustaches, which Drew & Timmy didn't waste any time putting on.

Until our next family reunion - we had a blast!

Family Reunion - Day 2: San Francisco

The second day of our family reunion was spent in San Francisco where we:

went to a park

chased birds

ate lots of pumpkin & banana bread

and played in the water.

After the park, we went to the Ferry Building to walk around & check out the different Farmer's Market stands, followed by lunch at Tacolicious.

After lunch, all those with younger kids went back to Stinson Beach (pictures coming soon) while the older kids stayed in the city & walked around Pier 39 & Ghirardelli Square.
