POST Safety Day...

My mom works for the State of California for POST and they had a take your child to work day/Safety Day. SD and SV received t-shirts with our last name on the back and participated in many activities. They got their finger-prints taken, decorated cookies, had snacks, talked about strangers, had lunch (pizza), and watched Charlotte's Web. It was super fun for them to get out and learn more about Police Officers and how they help us...even if they were a couple of the youngest.

At one point the police officers were talking about what to do if a stranger comes up to you and the kids were allowed to practice their screaming...SV was shocked then looked at me and burst into hysterics...she's very sensitive and easily startled. From then on, we had plenty of warning. (c:

Ready for Church...on Father's Day

The girls wanted their pictures taken in their Church clothes Father's Day morning. SV favorite color is yellow, so she always wants to wear her yellow dress with the ladybug on it. SD is wearing a dress made by R, a friend in the ward, and R's Mom. SD received this dress last year for her birthday and R recently lengthened it by undoing one of the growth pleats...now SD can wear it again. (c:

San Francisco, tourist style...

The first picture shows my (S) mom trying on a stylish pair of sunglasses at a shop on Pier 39 that specializes in Swarovski crystals. I told her that they looked great, but she didn't go for them. (c:

The Sea Lions on Pier 39 are a fun tourist attraction...we stood there for about 20 minutes or so just watching them sleep and fight for spots on the little floating pallets.

We were lucky enough to go into a big museum of old "arcade games" on Fisherman's Wharf that you would have found at the fair a long time ago...I swear the genie thing from BIG with Tom Hanks was in there. Anyway, the girls wanted to ride the horse. It was not terribly exciting as it didn't move very much, but do those things ever? They enjoyed themselves as you can see from the pictures.

The last picture is of the coolest bicycle contraption I have ever seen. You could pay to ride this thing (peddling to help it go of course) taking a 30 minute tour of the ocean front. It was amazing to see it with people peddling along...next time I think we'll try it. It looked like lots of fun.
