Life is pretty darn great right now and we're thrilled that we don't have to get on a plane this month!  Last weekend (June 13-14) turned out to be a gorgeous weekend and relatively relaxing.  We missed out on celebrating Joy's birthday on the 6th and so we decided we'd celebrate together a different day.   The collective vote was to go explore Angel Island.

We picked up Joy and Collin and headed to Tiburon JUST in time to catch the 12pm ferry out to Angel Island.  When we left Palo Alto it was overcast and a bit chilly and rarely does the city experience warmer days than we do.... But Saturday was one of those rare days and we ended up being a bit overdressed....  We decided to do the 5 mile walk along Perimeter road (Lee and I had both thought we'd be hiking that day... little did we know the trail was a paved road. Again, overdressed).  We chose to go counter-clockwise and as we rounded the eastern side, the views of the bridges and the city skyline were amazing!  Lee had so much fun taking pictures that I think he hit close to 300!  We had a picnic lunch, put candles in the birthday cookies for Joy and sang off pitch.  It was fabulous!  We really had a great day.

The rest of the weekend was pretty chill.  We had fun with our Sunbeams on Sunday. We brought stuff for them to make puppets out of lunch size paper sacks -- and then they wanted to put on a puppet show.  They kept us (and themselves) entertained long past their pick up time.  :)  It was really fun.  We also were able to attend the blessings of our good friends' twin boys at their home that afternoon.   What a special opportunity.

This most recent weekend has been pretty great too.  No photos were taken and we didn't head off on any adventures.  BUT we thoroughly enjoyed not have a single plan or commitment until Sunday evening! Lee experimented with a couple of ice cream flavors, we've gotten in some exercise (I even got on my bike) and sufficient sleep.  Who could ask for more?

Life is good!  Our photo processing computer has been having a few fits - so the pictures Lee took of the Bay, the bridges and SF Skyline are mostly still in the works.  Hopefully we'll have a link for those soon.

We revived the computer - Angel Island pics are finished! ANGEL ISLAND PHOTOS
