Tilden Park- Berkeley

We went up to Tilden Park in the Berkeley hills today, the kids really liked riding on the antique merry go round and the old steam train with amazing views of Oakland/San Francisco

Hot Air Balloon Festival '09

Brought the kids to the hot air balloon festival today and thought they might pass out with excitement. Quinn was almost hyperventilating with excitement for about the first 30 minutes we were there. They played inside a balloon for about 1/2 hour and Kieran and Jennifer got to take a short ride in a balloon.

Camping at Point Reyes II

Hung out at the coast a bit with the kids as well, they spent all day getting thoroughly wet and sandy

Camping at Point Reyes

Went camping at Point Reyes "sky camp" this weekend, really good time, our first hike in camping experience with the kids, it makes it a little more difficult since you have to hike in carrying them as well as all of their stuff, the old wagon was our savior. Kids had a great time looking for bugs and chipmunks.

Camping at Russian River II

a few more pics while we were camping. The kids (and dogs) had a great time at the river, they caught guppies with the nets and floated around on the little boat
