Last time on the Zoo Passes

After a year of zooing around...our passes have now expired. We did get one last visit with the Wimmers before it was final. A day at the zoo never fails to be boring with 6 boys and a sweet princess. We definitely got our money's worth of those passes. But I think it will be a couple of years before we get those again....we got our fill for a while!

Raging Waters

WE LOVE waterparks!!

A day with Shane would not be complete without an injury...this time to the chin and mouth!!

On a day away from Stanford...we took the boys to RAGING WATERS Waterpark. The boys LOVED it (and have been begging to go back ever since). It was a fun day. Joel did well. I even went a few slides with the boys...in between feeding and caring for baby.

Multiple visits to Tracy, CA

The whole fam drove out...the boys (minus Joel) went to see a movie while the shower was happening...

This time for Aunt Kristy's baby shower. I was so glad that I could be there for her night...since it is likely I won't be able to make anything else for the baby.

After Classes

While at Stanford we tried to get together with the other residents and their families...this was our turn for a BBQ/Pool time at our Residence Inn!

Steamer Lane/Santa Cruz

It was pretty chilly on the point of Steamer Lane...awesome swell coming thru though!

Stanford Campus

After 2 long days of lots of travelling (ie TIME IN THE CAR) we decided to stay close to home base. We had yet to take a tour of the campus of Stanford. It is a beautiful campus. We only walked around the central campus. We have seen bits and parts of the campus on other days. And Gavin is pretty familiar with his bike route scenery and the medical school campus/hospital where his course is located. It was a great Sunday outting.

Boating with Auntie Kristy

trying to surf the tube...hmmm

HA Ha...one says speed up, the other slow down!

Joel loved the boat ride

My cute, pregnant sister in law is also from Northern California. And she happened to be in town for a little while...while my crazy brother is doing a "school" trip around the world checking out companies around the globe. Anyhow...so we made the trek inland to go boating with Kristy and her family yesterday. It was a very warm day and the water in the lake was a welcomed relief. It was Joel's first ride on a boat and mine and Shane's first tubing experience. It was a lot of fun. A big thanks to Kristy's dad Mike for taking the boys out for so much fun. Gav and Christian went out a second time and pulled out the wakeboard for some more fun.
