The City by the Bay

Whew! I am way behind in blogging, but what else is new? I better get these photos up before our next trip comes along!

We went to San Francisco for Kyle to go to CE. My mom met us there so we could go out and about with four kids easier. Some highlights:


Our first evening there we ran into these super cute twin ladies. We happen to be given a table next to them and they talked our ears off. They were so adorable but one of them kept repeating herself more times than I could count. They finished each others sentences and broke into song simultaneously the entire time. Very entertaining. After we came home I discovered pictures and videos of them all over the internet. Here is a video I found on youtube. Check them out!




We visited the Golden Gate park. It was HUUUUGE. In there we saw the Japanese Tea Gardens. The girls kept thinking it was full of fairy houses.


I hardly have any pictures of Cooper. That's because he was stuck in this thing the whole time.










Also in the park was a carousel that we rode 5 times. There was a playground that was amazing, it had "wave" climbing walls and an awesomely tall slide.


Just in front of the hotel:


Browsing China town was really fun. The girls went in each jewelry shop there (there are tons) and admired almost every piece of jewelry.

One night my mom and I went to Wicked. (thanks Mom!!) So gooooood!!!! (No pics of that)...

Pier 39 had tons of cool stuff too. We found a fun mirror maze, the kids loved it.


Kyle and I rode the ROCKET BOAT. It was so fast and fun and I got drenched. It was my favorite thing!


Check out those strawberries! YUM!


Another day we went to Yerba Buena gardens and found another AMAZING playground. I think we hung out here for like 4 hours. Ryder couldn't get enough of the little water streams and his new cable car, Breckyn went down the massive slide a million times and Kyra scampered here and there doing a little of everything.



Breckyn found this picture and was so excited because she learned all about him in Kindergarten.


Of course we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge and it was breathtaking.


It was pretty there. Even on the freeways.


On the way out we stopped by the Oakland Temple. After all the business and hullabaloo of the big city it was nice to feel peace and quiet again.


Thanks Mom for coming along! We loved having you with us :)

I know that was a generic and boring travelogue but I don't have time for any more! :)
