Birthday Boy...THREE!

Pix from Sarek's big day on July 10th. We fled the city fog and spent the day in Tilden Park near Berkeley/Oakland. We were not disappointed. We had beautiful weather, rode a steam engine through the Oakland Hills, and took a few spins on the Carousel. We have the official party with cake and friends next Sunday. We did S'mores for the actual day. Sarek is intrigued by S'mores...toasted marshmallows feature strongly in a current favorite bedtime story, Curious George Goes Camping.

Brought on the Noise!

Gates St. kiddie care was a success. Ben and Sarek built a train car while Leah and Nola chowed daintily on the apple bread and watched. Sparrow flew the coop and spent most of the time in the living room watching her house from our window :(( She's settling into the kiddie care concept, though, now that she's two.

Choo Choo Sunday

Sarek has been saying all week that he wants to ride Caltrain. So on Sunday the boys went trampin' on the rails.

In the tunnel!

A happy ride home.
