A long weekend

K really enjoyed the long weekend... We went up to Sacramento for Thanksgiving day... Really nice especially as when we stopped for breakfast Gma S taught K how to blow bubbles with a straw... K thought that was just awesome! Pictures to come... Seeing all T's family was nice as always and K followed Gma C's sister around everywhere as they look similar... She is really missing her Gma! She loved playing soccer outside with the kids, getting all the cousins to read her stories and talking with everyone.

Friday and Saturday were just nice family days, doing some things around the house, making a dent on xmas shopping at some local shops for K while she was distracted by the other parent, going to the park to enjoy the weather and just being together. All lovely!

Sunday was definitely the big hurrah as we finally went to the Academy of Sciences. We got to watch the penguins feed, see the white alligator and check out their beautiful coral reef display. We saw the bugs 3d movie, but also left a little bit for the next few visits as we became members. Very exciting, the bummer of course was major major crowds. Yuck!

Afterwards we got to wander in the park and went over to the Cliff House for a beautiful lunch and beach time. K even played in the water as it was about 70. The night ended with Tay and her parents coming over for dinner. The girls giggled and giggled until finally being separated at 9:30 or so for bedtime.

And now the sprint to finals has officially begun.
