Pachelli’s Gym Playdate

We went to a playdate at Pachelli’s Gym in Daly City

The kids played on and under this colorful parachute:

Leilani’s Art 4/09

The age of the turtles (or turtles vs tortoises?) I asked Leilani what it was: A turtle class learning about dead animals (frogs). She went on to explain that they cut the frog open to see the inside, but Andy stopped her and did not want to hear anything else.

Easter 2009

We saw a beautiful swallowtails (many actually, but most were not as photogenic)

Leilani is so helpful, she loved taking down the tent, folding poles and putting the stakes back in the bags
