On Sunday, we drove to San Jose with the Kim/Arena clan to spend a lovely day at an amuzement park zoo like thing. It was a really sweet place – so easy with all the kids. The kids went on rides, did some climbing, checked out animals and had the best time. I’m going to post some fun shots and then a funny video.
Carousel…just like the good old days.
Ronnie and KJ picked the boat.

Ella loves this swing!

All four kids squished into one bug. Ella volunteered to ride with KJ. She really loves him.

Ella still loves riding in these silly little cars.

Although it was a little difficult to wake Ella up this morning, she was so excited to go to school this morning and so excited to schlep her big back pack!

On Tuesday night, we went to the Giants game. Ella wore her Brian Wilson jersey that she got as a giveaway at a game a few weeks ago. The Giants lost but we had a lot of fun.
On Wednesday, mommy stayed home with Ella and they had a very fun adventure. Ella has been asking to go on this “Ride The Ducks” thing that goes on land and water. Ella and mommy met the boat thing downtown and went on the duck ride! Here is Ella in a taxi heading downtown. She loves riding in taxis.
Ella and mommy stopped at an art gallery while waiting for the boat. Ella decided that she wanted to quack at the art.

Beautiful city views from the Bay.
Ella has been begging for roller skates. Sunny found these skates that have 3 wheels on each skate. Ella loves them but she is also so scared. She doesn’t let go of us!
