Music Monday will be going on hiatus for the summer so I can bring you our weekly recaps. I will be highlighting all the fun pictures and activities we have planned for this summer. Eight weeks of fun!
Monday
We traveled up East Bay to go to the Oakland Zoo. It was Arthur and I's second time there, the first for the twins. We saw a ton of animals, ate lunch, and rode the train (N rode the mini roller coaster). All in all, we had a lovely time and will definitely go again before the summer is up.
Tuesday
Tuesday was a home day. We lounged, did a ton of house chores, and hit the pool. Every couple of days, it's nice to just be at home. Plus, it gives me time for chores and reading, Arthur time to nap, and the boys time to play their video games. For dinner, I made Chicken Parmesan. Surprise surprise, the twins loved it and asked for seconds. They even had it for lunch the next day. Glad I found another go to recipes for their picky palates.
Wednesday
We had a jam packed schedule of things to do. We started at the Sunnyvale library picking up holds and new books. We came home for lunch and a short short nap for Arthur. Then we jetted over to Rengstorff for blanket babies. We ended up at Round Table for dinner. I had a stamp class that night at RT. The twins ate pizza and played while Arthur and I made a few cards. We were all exhausted when we got home.
Thursday
The morning was filled with another visit to Deer Hollow Farm with the mom's group. This time, we just had one other mom and baby join us, but we still had a nice stroll. Bonus points for the weather being clear and a little cooler. On Deer Hollow days, the twins know we get Chick-Fil-A on the way home. Yum yum!
Friday
Friday was another day at home filled with tv, books, and pool time. That night, I escaped for a few hours to Round Table for crafting night with my stamping friends. Every once in a while, it's nice to get away.
Saturday
We ventured all the way into San Francisco Bay to go to the Treasure Island Flea Market. I'd never been to TI or even over the Bay Bridge (new or old). It was a treat. We perused the wares (J bought a tee shirt, twins bought some dragons) and grabbed lunch from the food trucks (lobster rolls and fresh lemonade, wood oven pizza, macon bacon donuts, mini strawberry rhubarb pies). The flea market is open the last weekend of every month. J and I may have to go back later this fall. We arrived taking the Bay Bridge from SF and left taking the new Bay Bridge to Oakland. So pretty!
Sunday
Arthur had a rough night attempting to sleep. The entire day was basically everyone attempting to get any energy back. Ugh! I did get everyone to help out with the house chores.
