California Dreams

"Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day."
-Tom Hanks.

We had a day like this today!
Bailey was home from work and we woke up to the most beautiful, sunny, warm amazing day. At 8 AM the sun was shinning and birds were singing! We left the house at about 1030 AM and weren't home until after 5 PM. We drove down to Palo Alto had a yummy lunch and went to the Junior Museum and Zoo. Played and admired the Rats, Bobcats, and Bats. Maddox's personal favorite the one eyed owl who likes to sit on the floor of her habitat.

After the zoo we went to the park and laid in the glass. We rolled around and dog piled daddy. Graysen and Maddox ran around without shirts. It was like a summer day. We then drove the long way home stopped to show the boys the school were daddy went, were daddy worked when we first got married, daddy's old house, and even where we lived when Graysen was born. Of coarse the boys were asleep but we had fun seeing how the houses had changed and the new performing arts center at Bay's high school. Days like this remind me how wonderful it is to be alive!
