San Fran Fun!

We did it again. . .

We braved the CITY with all these kiddos. . .

and loved every second of it!

Especially the "crazy" bus rides we took!

We try to do different things each year and on this year's agenda was

THE COIT TOWER!

Never been there. I must say, we picked a beautiful day!

The kids had a blast pointing out all the landmarks in the city they could see from that high up!

Also on our agenda this year was 

CHINA TOWN!

I didn't realize the kids would actually enjoy it so much.

They were fascinated by it!

And you can't spend the day in China town and not have Chinese Food for lunch!

Below is what my children each picked out to remember China Town. . .

Kale - a diablo (a chinese yo yo)

Kris - a sword (shocking)

Karalyn - a  "princess" fan (as she referred to it the rest of the day)

And along with the

NEW

we still like to do the things we love to do in the city. . .

which of course means. . .

Sundaes at Ghiradelli Square!

And getting a picture of Kara in front of her cupcake shop!

(I just couldn't choose which one was cuter - once in a while she makes it fun to take her picture!)

And visiting PIER 39. . .

and while the sea lions left a little to be desired this year. . .

Kristopher managed to find himself up on stage for some PIER 39 entertainment!

Wanna know how he was chosen?

They said they needed a volunteer and the first kid they saw "hit" their parent could come up and help.

Kris not only hit me but jumped over Kale to get to me first and that did not go unnoticed by the performers!

It makes me proud!

And the kids were not going to let us leave the city this year without playing at the PARK!

Kody took his 1st ride on the swings. Not bad to have your first ride be at GOLDEN GATE PARK!

The kids love the Hotel that we found because the outdoor heated pool is the best!

And I'm not gonna lie I was pretty proud of myself for getting 4 kids asleep in one room by myself by 10:00 pm!

So. . .

San Francisco. . .

Once again we came and showed our GIANTS pride!

And we can't wait until next year when we get to come again and explore even more new things!

With this awesome bunch of kids!

 And a special Happy Birthday to this cute girl who wanted to spend her birthday in no other place than

SAN FRANCISCO!
