Memorial Day Weekend

Last year was our first Memorial Day weekend as a family of four. I remember Char sleeping in the car seat during our short family trip (maybe a good 1.5 hrs?) while we went to Vasona Park. This year was a tad bit different. We conjured up a bunch of ideas - Oakland Zoo, Vasona Park (again), Almaden Lake Park, SF, etc. for Monday. However, being lazy and unprepared, we just ended up going to a neighborhood park.

Lucas wanted to ride his tricycle, but I had a feeling that Char would want to ride it too. So instead, I had the genius idea of giving him his birthday present a month early. Say hello to his new present!

Now Char has her own bike too

We spent maybe 1.5 hours at the park today. I think both kids had tons of fun "biking", going on the playground, and just being crazy kids. Since we've been doing something fun in the morning, we usually spend our time at home after lunch (after nap) to just hang out and relax.

Here's the real reason our Memorial Day was so low key... we wasted all our energy on Saturday doing everything! Instead of renewing our passes at CDM, we decided to get a membership at HHZ. And guess what? We started our morning by going to HHZ... then after nap time, we went to go to our first SJ Giants game! It doesn't sound tiring on paper, but when you're a parent of two toddlers, it is!

Lucas was very adamant about riding on the zebra

Besties!!!

And that was Memorial Day weekend! Back to regular life...
