Beautiful day at Golden Gate Park & a very exciting Sunday

I’m going to make this short because I took my ambien.  Sunny and I had a beautiful day at Golden Gate Park with Ella.  We walked around Stowe Lake, fed some birds, ducks, geese, seagulls…we were trying to feed the koi but they never really came up.  We had a sweet day, it was nice to be in nature.  Ella had a great TaeKwondo class.  Tonight Naomi and Phyllis came here for dinner and to hang out with Ella. Sunny and I went out to celebrate Becca’s 40th birthday.  Happy Birthday ET!  We had a fun time being out.110.jpg Thanks Ella!210.jpg Beautiful flower blossoms.39.jpg411.jpgThrowing bread for the ducks, fish and seagulls67.jpgNotice Ella’s taekwondo footwear!77.jpg This morning, Ella took a bike ride along with dogdog around the ballpark.  We ended up on the slides and playing on the small field.  Ella can now go on the guzzler – the big slide at the ballpark.  She is “officially” 42 inches.  Ella loved the slide.84.jpgweeeeeeeeeee!  There are some great movies of Ella hitting and sliding at the end of this post.92.jpgThis afternoon, the Kim/Arena clan and me and Ella met Sunny and some of her staff at Alcatraz.  Sunny was there earlier giving a presentation to the Rangers.  If there was a vote tonight, Sunny would have been made president of Alcatraz  The rangers love her and they sell her book in the gift shop there!  We were treated to a special tour at night.  The kids did a great job but it wasn’t really a kids tour.  Ella was pretty mesmerized about the whole thing.  She followed the guide and was very curious about what was going on…at least in the beginning of the tour,101.jpg Ella and Juliet have a hot chocolate on the way over.111.jpg Mommy waiting us to arrive at Alcatraz!  What a beautiful sight.121.jpg Ella checking out one of the old cells – more like a torture chamber.131.jpg OUr ranger guide and Ella ready to go up to the top.141.jpg KJ did such a great job today.  It was really cold out there.151.jpg Friends forever.171.jpg I wouldn’t go in there if I were you.181.jpg I guess she didn’t take my advice.191.jpg The kids with their angry faces pretending that they were going to get locked up.20.jpg Yay!  They were freed.211.jpg Uh oh – busted again.221.jpgListening to the audio tour.

    Fabulous! Beautiful pictures at Goldengate Park. Fascinating experience at Alcatraz, I’m sure. Great sliding! And amazing batting! Ella must be keeping her eyes open! Thanks for the video chat. Love you. Mom
