Cole's 8th birthday

Cole is a big fan of the Giants!  For his 8th birthday he got a lot of Giants paraphernalia!

He celebrated with his buddies at Sky High once again.

Melissa even made him a Giants blanket to go with his new Giants themed room!

The New Exploratorium

We started our morning at our favorite Farmer's Market at the Ferry building.

We finally got the chance to check out the new Exploratorium.  We had a great time.  Cool exhibits and lots more space in the new location!

We had to make a stop at Ghirardelli for a sundae!

Another epic sandcastle

Geoff and the boys are becoming experts at making sandcastles!!!

Vacation Bible School

The boys spent a week going to Vacation Bible School.  It was a western theme (if you couldn't tell!)

Petroglyph Painters

The boys painted new San Francisco Giants plates.  Grandma stopped by to visit while we were there.

Last Disneyland trip with our passes!

We wanted to go to Disneyland one last time before our passes expired.  Boy, did we get some good use out of these passes!

 Cole finally got to go on California Screamin' and loved it!

 Our first time eating at the famous Blue Bayou next to Pirates of the Caribbean.

 This is the train that was in the movie the Lone Ranger.

Goodbye to the Howarths

Our dear friends, the Howarths, decided to move to North Carolina!  We had one last BBQ to wish them well. They drove cross country the whole summer and had some awesome adventures.  Here are Geoff, Lee, Pete, and Ted via Skype!  Gotta love technology!
