Last Weekend of Summer

We had a bbq and swim day at the Grandparents' to celebrate the last weekend of Summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Safety Patrol

It has been Connor's dream to be a part of the school Safety Patrol since he was in Kindergarten.  You have to be a 5th grader to be eligible.  This year, he's finally in!  Today was his first day of training and he was bursting with excitement.

Training

The two oldest decided to start training for Friday's Walk-a-thon.  They did 6 laps yesterday. 

 

 Meanwhile, Kyle plays on the playground.

Busy Saturday

We had a birthday party this morning and then we really wanted to do the Art & Wine Festival at the park nearby, so we are so tired from all the walking we have done today.  It was great fun though!

 He made it all the way to the top this time! He was very proud of himself!  Given that he's afraid of heights, but was determined to do this anyway, we are super proud of him as well!

Community Heroes

Today at Mommy and Me on the Row, they had special guests- Firemen and Policemen.  Kyle enjoyed interacting with them.  He also enjoyed the balloon sword he had made for him.
We were lucky that we were able to go into the fire truck and take a picture.  The line was long and when it was just past our turn, the firemen were called away on an emergency.

Birthday Celebration

A couple of weeks ago, several of us went out to celebrate one of my best friend's birthdays.  We got dolled up and went out to dinner and dancing.  We then spent the night at the Fairmont in San Jose.  It was a lovely time. 
One of our friends, Jenna, was there with her photo equipment and took lots of pictures of us.  I'm no model by any means, but I love that she can make me feel like one.  HA!  :)
