Visiting the Cooks!

We had such a wonderful time in the Bay Area over the last weekend. The kids had Friday & Monday off of school, so we ventured out solo (without Chris) and cruised on up! It was SOOOO good to see the family and made us realize again how much we miss them. The kids are more like siblings than cousins (in all ways-good and bad;) and it's just fun to have them together.

In the hotel bed...the kids love hotels! But we actually had the nicest time when we stayed at the Cooks. Here's Brookie reading to the kids after the girls had a bath.

Maya is the cutest, most sweetly mellow baby ever! We could not believe how much she loved the wind in her sails-darling!Sophie and Maggie among the flowers.....love San Francisco. It was such a beautiful day.


Little monkeys at the Rainforest Cafe....


Having fun a the playground near their house. Do Sam and Sophie look like twins or what???
Our favorite little piggy:)


On our way home we stopped at Casa de Fruta- a huge fruit stand with a train, merry-go-round and even a Casa de Sweets. We got supplies for the road and had a little fun. Wish I had one of these at home:

A peacock that walked right up to us....

It was a great, relaxing trip...thank you Brookie and Dave!
