Art & Wind Festival 2010

Every Memorial Day weekend San Ramon has its annual Art and Wind Festival and every Memorial weekend we are sitting there on the lawn picnicking, watching the kite flyers and enjoying the sites. This year we packed our lunch, found a spot on the lawn and kicked back for an hour or so (mainly waiting for the candy drop), went searching for an art project, rode a ride and enjoyed the day. Oh Daddy also picked up a cotton candy and kettle corn somewhere in the middle there.

SWIMMING!

Earlier this week we were jumping in rain puddles and today we were SWIMMING! We went to visit Grandpa and Grandma in Stockton and today it happened to be close to 90 degrees! The pool water was FREEZING, but we had a blast!

Goodbye Ladybugs

Sunday we were sitting at the table looking at our ladybugs crawling around it's cage and noticed they couldn't fly. How sad...So, we decided to release them outside. The kids had butterflies and silkworms in their classroom so they know it's best for the critters to be outside. We took them out and the kids set each ladybug on a flower - one still was working on getting out of its pupae, but we put her out too. (They also go ladybug hunting at school - the teachers release 100s of ladybugs in the yard - so they knew how to carefully pick up each bug) We actually didn't see any of them fly away, but we know they are much happier outside.

Congratulations Kyle!

This afternoon we went to Arco Arena in Sacramento to watch Kyle graduate from Sacramento State! Whoo Hoo Kyle. Congratulations!

(Just a side note for those of you who live in/near Sacramento - Go eat at Taro's by Mikuni! Oh my gosh - yumola! Also, the kids meals are just perfect and they even serve them with a box of Botan candy - and it's allergy free for Bailey! Oh, and say "hi" to Kyle. He works there.)

Ladybugs!

Yesterday Bailey was taking a peek at our pupae and look what we found! A ladybug! Oh this is just so exciting. Two more popped out today so we fed them a raisin and a few aphids from our garden. This is just the neatest thing ever!
