our SHINNanigans: I'm A Goner

Yup, summer's here! Ever since the kids started going to school, I have had a love/hate relationship with summer. Summer means sleeping in (it's been less than a week and the kids are already getting up later and later), no homework, no lunches, etc. Summer also means longer nights, loud children 24/7, no me-time. Luckily, summer camp is starting next week! Baby and I are used to quiet mornings. We've been adapting this week.

Anyway, summer's off to a busy, but fun start. It's still been less than a week of summer, but we've done a lot of fun stuff already. Fun for kids, fun/tiring for parents.

Look who's three months old!

Part of his graduation celebration (still): McD's

The last time we went fruit picking was two years ago. Charlotte was too young/not strong enough to pull strawberries on her own. This time, she was much better. I found a place in Gilroy (right near the outlets) for some cherry picking. The kids had a blast picking some expensive cherries!

Evangeline is a smiley one! She greets you with a smile when she wakes up. When you kiss her cheeks, she smiles too. I can't wait till she starts making those cute coo-ing noises. The only time she's not all smiles is when she has a poopy diaper or when she's overly tired.

I'm pretty sure Pier 39 was packed during Memorial Day weekend. However, the day AFTER Memorial Day was a different story. We took a day trip to Pier 39 and went on a tour around Alcatraz. We didn't go inside (don't think the kids would've enjoyed it), but got to ride on a boat around the Bay. It was a fun experience. This was Evee's first time experiencing wind and she was not a happy camper.
