summer wrap up

our first summer in california treated us very well. among all our travels we also had lots of local outings. we ventured to various parks in the area at least a couple times a week. one time a 'dig dig' was visiting and william couldn't get close enough.
we also became members of the oakland zoo so we made frequent visits. it was fun to watch williams interest in the animals and exhibits grow each time.

the best thing about california may be being close to family. william loves playing with cousin jacob, especially when it's at grandma and grandpas house and involves water.
near us is an aviation museum we decided to check out one day. william cried lots of tears when we had to leave.
another day we went up to san francisco, over 'the big red bridge', to the bay area discovery museum.
william also has lots of friends his age and we love getting together with them at local attractions. happy hollow and claire are favorites.
and because summer lasts a long time here we went to the beach with claire and jabe on october 1, the day before lucy joined our family.
yeah for summer!
