We spent the day today in Stockton to celebrate Grandma's birthday. We arrived around lunch time and after eating the kids took a dip into the pool. It was a quick dip since the water was pretty chilly. After jumping out of the pool they all had to run upstairs to sit in the warm tub for a while. After swimming we dyed eggs and even did a little tie dye work on some paper towels. I want to try that again. I may go buy some dye just to tie dye. I wonder if it'll take to t-shirts? Actually, I'll find out after I try washing Gregory's shirt! Dinner was yummy and we ended our day with cake. Another fun day in Stockton.
See slide show for photos! :) enjoy...

RATS!
Not darn, but RATS! We counted EIGHT in our yard tonight. They were eating the scrappy bird food that has fallen from our bird feeder. May have to rethink this bird feeder business if we don't get rid of the rats.
Here are four of the cuties. They are babies or at least young'uns.
Here's Daddy trying to whack them on the head! He had to do this three times cuz they kept coming back. Who knows, they still may be out there, but we had to come up for tubbers. The just better not come in the HOUSE!!!

California Academy of Sciences
We enjoyed a nice day at the California Academy of Sciences today.
We packed a picnic lunch this morning and off we went to spend the day in San Francisco - well, a few hours at least. When we arrived, the parking area for the academy was full. So, we had to park in the museum parking lot. I was thinking it was going to be just packed, but we did okay. We got in line for the rain forest as soon as we arrived and waited for maybe 20 minutes; that wasn't too bad.
Bailey said her favorite part of the day was having a picnic and Gregory said his favorite was the tiger. (no tigers today - that was from Wednesday!) Guess we could've stayed at home and had a picnic and called it a day....No, I think they had a good day at the academy.

Day at the Zoo
After Bailey finished therapy today, we took the kids to the Oakland Zoo.
We picked up a little lunch from Burger King and off we went. The weather was just perfect today in Oakland - it's a little windy in San Ramon, but in Oakland it was really nice. We ate, saw some animals, rode the merry-go-round and the train and then came home.
The perfect afternoon!
