Day 1-Bay Area

We spent our first day in the Bay Area swimming, catching a glimpse of Michelle Obama in her motorcade coming out of the Claremont Hotel on our way to breakfast (that was a fun coincidence), eating breakfast at Rick and Anns, going to the Lawrence Hall of Science, watching a 3D dinosaur movie, meeting up with Auban at Dracena Park, Fentons for dinner, Megan's concert at the Oakland Temple, and then Fenton's again for dessert. Busy but fun day!

By the Claremont Hotel.  Joseph in his typical anti-photo pose. 
On top of the whale at Lawrence Hall of Science.
The kids must have played with these for over an hour.  Lots of fun.  Long after they had been shoving their faces in the pins, we noticed a sign that said "do not put your face in".  Oops!


Can you tell who this is?

The boys had fun being pushed together in the swing.

Can you tell whose daughter this is?  Ellie is so cute!
A glimpse of 403 Moraga, the house I grew up in.  Not looking too good :(.

Singing in the chapel that I grew up going to.  They sang music from "Come to the House of the Lord" by Steven Kapp Perry.  It sounded amazing. 
Singing True to the Faith to the audience in the aisle.

Cute cousins!
Who doesn't love Adam?
Cute picture of Joseph.  We just need to find some pants that fit him!











Fentons after for dessert. 
Isaac picking up a raisin with his finger.  This was quite a little game for him.
So proud of himself!
