A couple of weeks ago we met up with a couple of friends down at the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building downtown. Our friends took the ferry over, and so trying to be adventurous and not wanting to worry about parking we decided to take the bus! I had my very first San Francisco bus ride! It was the girls first time too, obviously, and they actually really liked it. There were definately sights, sounds and smells to be remembered for a lifetime! The Farmer's Market was a blast and the food was amazing, we hope to go back soon!
Maddie was holding on so tight! It's a good thing too because a crowded bus stopping and going pretty quickly can definately get you moving...even when you're scared to touch your surroundings!!!
She did it!!! It has taken probably six months but Maddie can finally pedal her bike on her own! We are so proud of our baby girl. We probably should have practiced more often, but she did it! She loves to ride tricycles and has been able to jump on and do that for quite some time without getting "stuck", but for some reason her little bike had given her (well us) a lot of grief. If we got her started she could keep up the momentum, but if she slowed she would get stuck. So with a few hard practices she rode her bike all by herself to the park by our house! Dan and Ashley were there too, and we were all so proud of Maddie.
And we went to the Zoo! I think this is the last time that I will come on a free day...it was a little bit scary and they weren't even running the train! So, I guess this is the only picture I took of the exciting event, I think I was too scared by the crowd we were surrounded by to be getting in and out of my purse too often! Never a dull moment here in this city!
We spent our September break from school in San Diego, and as usual we had so much fun relaxing, seeing friends and family. Olivia has gotten really into making this funny face and Maddie likes to do it right back. We have all gotten a good kick out of it! Just though we would share.
We took Maddie to ride the train at Old Poway Park, she had fun ...we promise this is just not a good picture! She really did enjoy it and so did her little train Molly. I think it is so great that the girls like trains and balls and cars just as much as they like princesses and playing kitchen and dolls.
Not the best picture but they were having fun!!! I promise :)
Matt's mom and dad have a little pop-up camper and they popped it up while we were there for Ashley and her friends to play in and Maddie had a blast playing with the big girls.
Ashley and her friends are so sweet to Maddie. I love this picture, I think it makes Maddie look like such a big girl. She is so lucky to have Ashley as her aunt, they play so well together. It will be fun to see how close they become as they get older (they are only like seven years apart!)
