Randoms

I was going through photos and found a lot of random pictures that I'd like to post. Enjoy!
Rossi Playground
We discovered a new playground that was so much fun!
Alina loved to slide by herself!


Playing "Monkey in the Middle"

Michael "gravity bending"

Wednesday Adventure
The kids get out of school on Wednesdays at 1:00, so one Wednesday, I surprised them with an outing to a new park and then we tried out a new ice cream palor.


The park had great views of the Bay Bridge.




Michael ordered ice cream, clown style, and yes, those are the milkshakes!

Girl Scouts
Haley wanted to join Girl Scouts this year so that she could spend more time with her good friend Audrey. They had an activity where real FBI agents came and the girls got to practice finding finger prints and even took a print of their whole hand!

Stern Grove
This is a grove near our house that we have always wanted to explore. It didn't let us down.




Windmills and Tulips
One of our recent Saturday adventures was exploring the two windmills that are in Golden Gate Park. The first was in the Queen Wilhelmina Garden with lots and lots of beautiful tulips!









We also discovered a new playground near the windmills. I think the kids enjoyed this more than the windmills!





Oven S'Mores
We discovered these new marshmallows at the store. They are flat, so that you can make S'Mores a little easier. Nathan made some with the boys and Alina while Haley and I were in Rochester.


Beeps Burgers (go Beep Beep)
There's this outdoor walk up burger joint called "Beeps Burgers" that we pass every Sunday going to church. The kids always call out "Beeps Burgers go Beep Beep!" whenever we pass it. Nathan took the boys and Alina there while Haley and I were in Rochester. They really enjoyed their Beeps Burgers!

Eagle Scout Project by the Beach
While Haley and I were in Rochester, the boys and Alina helped a young man in our ward with his Eagle Scout project. They helped clean up a community center by the Linda Mar Beach.


Russian Festival
One Saturday the Russian Community Center had a Russian Festival. Of course, we had to go! We were treated to wonderful Russian displays and a museum. Our favorites were the dancing show and the yummy authentic food we were able to devour!



Science Fair Project
Haley had to complete a Science Fair Project for her 4th grade class. So chose to see which melted faster: frozen water, milk, or soda. We took pictures to put on her display. I have yet to take a picture with the finished project, but will post that later. She earned 100% on her project! In case you were wondering.... frozen soda melted the fastest.

Angel Baby
Sisters
"Ohhh! A firetruck with it's lights and sirens going!"

Hey, my little sister and family are moving to a town just outside Rochester. We want to ask a few questions - can you send me an email?
