Mama slept in and the kids woke up early so we all ended up in bed together this morning. It’s rare that we can all be together in the morning.
Breakfast and Goodbyes
This morning, Alice came over and we all had breakfast together.
Then it was time to pack up, take some group photos, and get started on our drive home.
We had such a fun time with the family this past week and the girls gave each other one last big hug before saying goodbye.
Stow-away

It’s the last day of school and PAJAMA DAY! All 1st graders were allowed to bring a stuffy and instead of taking her turtle, Janie snuck Little Guy to school.
Shave Ice
Auntie Amy, Uncle Jay, Amelia, and Ellie were flying back to Vancouver today so we had some shave ice before they had to head out to the airport.
Janie got pineapple and lychee and Peanut got strawberry and lilikoi.
Back at the hotel, the kids said their goodbyes and gave hugs. We will miss them but hope to see them again soon!!
Good Morning
Somehow Janie and Mama switched sleeping places last night and Peanut was surprised to find Mama in the bed next to him.
So we had some snuggle time before going downstairs.
Before Janie woke up, Peanut also got to play with his trains.
Then once Janie woke up, they had waffles in front of the window together.
Pizza on Friday
Cookies and Hugs
Cal Academy
Today, we went to the California Academy of Sciences. We got a family membership so we could get Amelia and family in too. Amelia brought her backpack today since Janie had hers yesterday. So cute.
Janie also brought her camera and took lots of photos of the creatures. Peanut used his toy phone to copy her.
Peanut enjoyed seeing all the fish. He was barely able walk the last time he visited the museum.
I can still remember when it was SO hard to convince Janie to touch the creatures in the tide pool back she was Peanut’s age but now it’s no big deal.
It’s also fun to see how different Peanut is since it took him absolutely no convincing.
Before heading back to the East Bay, we all stopped for soft serve at the truck outside the museum.
For dinner, we took Auntie Amy for some tasty crab at Hang Ten Boiler.
At the end of the day, Peanut and Ellie gave each other hugs. They had a fun time together these past two days.
Our Boy
Look at this guy…he’s so fun-loving and happy. Yet, he has a sensitive side too. The teachers found him snuggling the little baby doll today at school.
