Ahhh, today was last day of school. Now I have time to blog and clean and most importantly relax and have summertime fun! May started with my mom and dad and Paige coming out to visit. We went up to the city and walked a little bit of the Golden Gate Bridge, but as you can see it was very overcast, cold, and windy-typical San Fran spring/summer, I'm glad we live on the Peninsula. Monday, they all went to the SF Zoo where I'm not sure of Paige's judgement as seen by her feeding Cody to the crocs, but it sounded like they had a blast. Greg and I had to work-boo, it was my state STAR testing and Shirley our daycare was on vaca so we were lucky to have family come out, watch Cody and show him lots of good times and love. Mom and Dad took him to Coyote Point Park and on the Cal Train to another fun park. They were even here for Cody's second play appearance in our school's musical 13 which was awesome! The following Saturday we went to the Maker's Fair again, it's a huge fair of all things invention-lots of demos and super interesting, creative people. We got solar eclipse viewing lenses and brought them up to Mark and Courtney's ranch to see the solar eclipse. It was gorg up there of course and pretty cool seeing a "bite" out of the sun. Later the next couple of weeks we saw Venus transverse the Sun.
For Memorial Day we headed down to San Diego for the first time since we've moved out here to hang with Mandy and Asa who were taking a course and celebrating their 5th birthday respectively. We had a blast-even though we could have been hanging out just in the room for how much fun Cody and Asa had hanging together. Some highlights were going to the zoo, running through waves at Coronado Beach, watching Cody and Asa running around with kites at Seaport Village and just catching up with the always busy Mandy. Oh, we also had great experiences on Virgin flights which we're taking soon back to New York for Sar and Dor's wedding!
Then it was June and we camped with the Goldfarbs at Memorial State Park. It's a great site with lots of fun stuff for kids. Last weekend we went back to Tilden where we had Cody's naming ceremony. I love that place. Wow how Cody's changed and more changes this summer- besides his talking up a storm and following lots of directions this summer we're getting rid of the bink for sure, moving up to a big kid bed and practicing a little potty training.
Today was his last day at Shirley's. She has been super great and got him a shirt, plane spoon, and lunch box today. We've really been happy with our first daycare experience and look forward to our next at April Fender's with older children. I've been non stop thinking of my future-been at Borel for 4 years and it's been great but I need to take classes so I've explored a bunch of options and think I've narrowed in on another Masters in Admin at a local private college. But right now I'm most looking forward to Greg's enchilada's that I can smell right now, sleeping in a little bit tomorrow, then heading down the coast to the ocean since it'll be 95 here. I've been to our pool at the our gym 3x this week. I want to go there at least 3x per week with Cody doing swimming and me yoga. Yay, summer Jes is here. Can't wait to hear Paige's recent adventures and see Barb and John, maybe Uncle Jonny in NYC next week. Then see them again in August and Utica family too since Cody and I will be taking Amtrak up to Utica to hang out! Yay-one more time-it's summer!!!!!!!!!!! 12 years of teaching and it always feels awesome to finish a year and enjoy break.
