San Francisco

We went to California at the beginning of this month to visit family. Normally we fly into Sacramento, but this time we chose SF because it was half the price! Josh's parents came to pick us up, and we spent the day there doing the tourist things. First stop was the beach. We wanted to get some pictures of Bridget at the ocean. When we first got there Bridget was sleeping (we got 5 hrs. of sleep the night before) so I really didn't want to wake her up. Josh, Julie and I got out to walk around and take a few pictures, but it was sooo windy!! This is the one picture we got of Josh and I, and the sun was in our eyes!
Bridget woke up, so Josh took her back out to see the water.
Next was the Pier for lunch and to see the Sea Lions!
Then we went and rode the cable cars!
Next was China town. We found this little bench with this monkey on it, and Bridget thought it was so funny!
Overall we had a great day in San Francisco, the weather was beautiful and we were ready to head up to Chico to see more family!

Stingers continued

One day we met Mary Jo and the kids at all the Mall! I rode the train with them all. (those things were not made for adults!)
Maggie and Mary Anne
Bridget loved having her cousins here to play with!!
Thanks Stingers for coming and playing!

Stingers visit

When the kids had their spring break, Maggie decided to drive down for a visit!! They hadn't been at our house for more than 10 minutes, but Bridget was already interested in Lydia.
The next day we went to the Zoo!
We saw this peacock, right outside the restrooms!
I stayed outside with Lydia, while Maggie took the other kids in the reptile house. No thank you!
For dinner that night we had corn on the cob and Josh BBQ-ed chicken! We all got a headstart on our corn, while Josh cut the chicken.
Corn on the cob was loved by all!

Camping

Something I totally forgot that we did in the end of March was, camping! We were having fantastic weather in the 80's and didn't have anything going on over the weekend, so we decided to take advantage of it. We found a campground only 40 minutes away which would be perfect for our first trip with Bridget!
It was really hard to get a picture of Bridget because she was on the go constantly, which means we were too!
And the pictures we did take, were not the best...But I will post them for your entertainment...
See what I mean?
Getting ready for bed. We brought the pack n play, and she slept like a champ!
The next morning we made breakfast, and were off for a bikeride to the playground!
We had a lot of fun, one night was a good starter trip for us! We look forward to many more camping trips this summer!

Baby Bunnies

Josh was mowing the backyard last night and this is what he found.
He noticed all the fur and decided to look and see what it was. When he moved it out of the way, this is what he found:
He thought it was just two or three babies huddled together, turns out there were six! Josh moved them around to count, then Bridget and I came down to see them and he took one out to show Bridget.
The girl has no fear and instantly wanted to hold and touch one!
Turns out she just wanted to give it a squeeze! Which made Josh and I super nervous, so we were showing her how to be soft and just pet it with her fingers. She eventually did, but I didn't get a picture!
Here's the momma bunny who came back after we went inside. She sat over the hole and looked like she was nursing them! So cute!
