Someone is going to have to come to my house and eat all of my fudge because at the rate I am going I will double in width by next week :) We just got back from San Fran and had a wonderful trip! Steve had his seminars, so the kids and Nana and Grandpa and I flew out to join him for the weekend. We had a chance to chat with all of our friends and family that live in the area, visit all of our old haunts, and generally relax a bit. On Sat. we went took a tour of Alcatraz, which, even after living in San Fran, I had never seen. It was interesting to see the prison through a child's eyes as we tried to explain to Grace what it was all about. The conversation went something like this..."mama, where are we going?" "to a place where they used to put bad people." "like, in time out?" "ummm...sure, like in time out." she pauses and thinks this over. "is that the time out island?" "yup, that is the time out island." "hmmmm...and where is the spanking island?" In the end, Curt and I took the full tour while Steve and his mom played outside with the kiddos because Noah figured out that the halls in the prison echoed and ended up yelling "BAAAA" at the top of his lungs over and over to hear the sound. Sat after the tour we had the privilege of having our family portraits done by my friend Shannon Cunningham The kids were pretty much wiped out by this point, and then Grace fell and hit her nose on a rock and things spiraled out of control from there. I am amazed that Shannon was able to get any pictures at all, because the kids were in hysterics most of the time...next time we will schedule the photo shoot at the BEGINNING of the trip...duh! We are home safely and now all that is left to do is piles of laundry :)
P.S. For my family that views these blogs through email, you will want to go onto the actual blog to view this one as I put a slideshow of pictures on it :)
