We visited parks with old friends (photos taken on different days)
Millbrae Park
Narnia and Marianna
Victor and Sophie joined us briefly
Village Park
Playing “Store” with Ansel and Narnia
We had dinner in the park, (Jay, Lily, Sylvia, Rick)
Millbrae Park again
Lieilani got to play with Regina
Who needs playgrounds when you can also play in the dust…Mariana and Oliver
Grant joined us, (Lilian with Leila too)
Leilani and Oliver had so much fun at the pool
Oliver went twith us to the old Coyote Point Museum, which has reinvented itself as Curiodyssey
When the museum closed we went to the park:
Nubi Yogurt – which we will not eat anymore now that I saw the list of ingredients :-(
I kind of had suspected it and only allowed Leilani to eat what I thought of as white – but even that is made with food coloring…
On Saturday we hiked in the El Corte de Madera Open Space Preserve
Raquelina and Dwight with Sofia, and Ana hiked with us
Threasures!
Ana forgot to make a face on this photo…
The sandstone formations were beautiful.
Leilani found mushrooms – Agaricus augustus, the Prince. The looked so good and fresh, but were full of worms already.
More treasures
Leilani needed me to take the photo exactly like that.
“Farewell to Spring”, or Clarkia amoena is one of my favorite flowers.
On our last day we hiked on Angel Island:
Kelby, Leilani and Belen on the ferry.
Photoshop must be broken. The saturation is off again.
Holding hands with Ethan
Bay-leave-snake-tongues. And Andy didn’t believe me the jacket would not be photogenic.
With Ella on a log
Morning Glory , still glorious in the afternoon
We didn’t manage to get a better photo of Shay and Ayelett, and the horizon is crooked because I couldn’t rotate it without cutting too much off (me)
That’s the Golden Gate behind us.
Dave and Rebbecca with Ethan and Megan
Kelby, Silvia, Keith and Belen
Hurry, the last ferry leaves at 5:20
I’ll spare you the details of kids falling and tripping on the way down and the photo of Andy running while carrying 2 kids… and a description of how my back reacted to running with the backpack…
But, we made it! With 5 minutes to spare. Which is good, as our plane left at 8 am the next morning. And on top of it all we managed to look relaxed just a few minutes later.
Get the sailboat, in front of the bridge, quick… too late….
We had excellent pizza at the Waterfront Pizza
Good Bye Mount Tam, see you next time!
Fairies
Cats and Birds on the Lanai

We tried to save a little pigeon, Fluffy. She was so tame she ate out of our hands… sadly she didn’t make it.
Leilani started to explore geometry, she didn’t just color it, with very little help she drew the circles too.
Lilifee and Rosalie
Nalu!
Rapunzel:Leilani drew her Rapunzel book with the CD and wrote “I can’t believe it” and the small text reads “My alphabet book has one princess tangled”
Rapunzel: I can’t believe I did this.
[Whispers]
Rapunzel: I can’t believe I did this. *I can’t believe I did this!* Mother would be so furious. That’s OK though, I mean what she doesn’t know won’t kill her. Oh my gosh. This would kill her. *This is so fun!* I, am a horrible daughter. I’m going back. *I am never going back!* I am a despicable human being. *Woo-hoo! Best. Day. Ever!* [Sobs]
