20/6/2010 - Oh yeah Hibiscus Beet ice cream for Treats from Humphry Slocombe, I love the colour!
20/6/2010 - For Fathers day we headed into San Francisco for a Reclaim the Streets day in the Mission District. What a great place to wander the streets, literally! First we had a fun time at the park - James modelling his Fathers Day gift with his iPhone! And the kids riding on the road. Ashwin loved it & he was riding so fast that it was hard for us to keep up with him - next time I'm taking a scooter!!
17/6/2010 - Treats after dinner on the hot summer days is chocolate ice cream. Holly enjoyed it so much that most of it was all over her face! Ashwin is trying to escape off the patio!
12/6/2010 - The weather was hot so we headed on over to this tree at Shoreline Park - with the breezes we were cool!
11/6/2010 - Right in the middle of summer Ashwin's preschool had a concert & picnic for the end of class, and the beginning of summer school! Here there are 3 months off over the summer where you just enjoy the amazing weather & just hang out. The picnic was a potluck so Ashwin wanted me to make cupcakes - so I made whole wheat Devils Food Cake and yellow icing for a summer feel & the kids helped with the decorations - they were delicioso!
1/6/2010 - Holly finished a year at her parent participation preschool. I cannot believe how quickly the year passed & she had a great time meeting some new friends. Our little American enjoyed marching around the room with the stars & stripes! The trucks were always a favourite & preschool is where you learn graffiti, if I see her tagging walls I know where it came from. The shave cream with watercolour is a sensorial favourite though very messy. Missy always loves dressups so she found this top hat in the costume box!
31/5/2010 - We finally made the trip to Mt Diablo State Park - we had been talking about going there for ages! There is an incredible view from the vista point & the visitor centre is pretty cool too! 
29/5/2010 - More pics from our trip to Swanton Upick farm and our fun time at the beach after our lunch!
29/5/2010 - Over in Santa Cruz my friend discovered this Upick farm right by the beach. So when the strawberries are in season what better way to experience them. 
23/5/2010 - Another wonderful year of the Maker Faire - I found the Lion Brand Yarn demos with a massive intarsia giraffe. We also found amigurimi animals which inspired me to start crocheting! So now I am enjoying crochet as well as knitting. 
25/4/2010 - Goat cheese is simply divine & especially when it comes direct from the farm. We wanted to visit the baby goats so what a great excuse just to buy goat cheese. There was goat cheese with cranberries, herbs & many other delicacies - so what did we do next? Grab some fresh olive bread & had a picnic on the beach! There we found a great little windbreak that someone had made :)
3rd to 10th April 2010 - For more of our images go here... Over Easter we finally made our way to Yosemite National Park! It was just amazing! It snowed when we visited which was just the most beautiful experience as we had never seen anything like that in our lives. I really want to explore some more of Yosemite someday!
1/4/2010 - Man too many celebrations at once. Next comes Easter soon after Holly's birthday! At Ashwin's school there was a Easter Egg Hunt for Eggs with yoghurt covered raisins inside. No chocolate, the parents can deal with the hyperactive children at home!
