Last 2 Weeks of Summer!

Well, we made it through all our travels for the summer.  It was a busy one, but I'm happy for all the wonderful memories we created with our friends and family!!  When we got home, we didn't take too much of a break.  We only had a couple weeks left before school started, so I wanted to end our summer with a bang.  We had several playdates at different parks, took the kids to the circus, went swimming, took a hike, went to Six Flags for my birthday, and finally the last day of summer, the kids and I rode BART up to the city to have lunch with Dad!!  I don't like driving, because I don't like to stress myself out over parking.  Bottom line, parking sucks.  Mike's work isn't too far from the BART station, so it works out well.  And a bonus, the kids enjoy it.

Here are some pictures of our last 2 weeks of summer...

When we got home, the kids were anxious to see their friend, Colin. One of our 1st days back, we met him at the park

We celebrated my birthday at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.  We've never been there, and I thought it would be a fun outing.  I enjoy taking the kids on family adventures, so this was a really fun birthday.  This theme park is really nice; it has rides and animals!!  When we were done, we headed home and had dinner at BJ's.

They love all the superheros at Six Flags!

She touched it!!
