Springtime in Mountain View

12/2/2010 - This just seems like yesterday but it was the beginning of Spring & we had a day out at the library & the park nearby. Now it is nearly Autumn... when I am writing this!

Uvas Canyon - a beautiful hike!

7/2/2010 - What an amazing hike this was - the fact that we didn't hike too far as we had a lot to keep us occupied on the way in the banks were tonnes of ladybugs doing their thing! The kids loved it so much & enjoyed the little critters crawling all over them. Then the picturesque creeks & waterfalls to sit by & eat a snack & chill. Well worth the visit an hour south hidden amongst the hills.

Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo Antics

6/2/2010 - Hanging at the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo - checking out the animals & checking science experiments!

Sunol in the Sunshine

31/1/2010 - It has been a long time since I have blogged as there has been zero time... Now it is September I have to update this with what we have done this year, so the kids can see what their time was like in the US of A. Anyhow, here is a hike at Sunol Regional Wilderness at the East Bay, it was a beautiful morning & we enjoyed checking out the streams and chasing Ashwin to the edge of a cliff - go Luke go!! Holly of course fell in the water - see here feet full of river sand :)

Milpitas party time!


30/1/2010 - Another party this weekend, this time at a place in the Great Mall of America called Bounce-A-Rama. The place where my kids get exposed to all sorts of crazy things like the cute snoopy ride, some funky numbers game? & a teacup Chihuahua - yikes! Still there is nothing like eating pizza & cake & then jumping around in bounce houses :)

Party time in the Exploratorium

24/1/2010 - 2nd party for the year so far & it is the end of January a little friend of ours turned 4 & had a fab party at the Exploratorium in San Francisco - there is so much for the kids to do & of course their favourite is the cake, this time it was tasty chocolate muffins!

Santa Cruz Antique Faire & a yummy feed

10/1/2010 - Heading on over to Santa Cruz for a day out to the Fungi Faire, it was a bit pricey to get in so we found an Antique Faire instead which happens every month. I found an awesome button lady there & if the kids were not so bored there was a lot of vintage stuff to go through! Still we were in the beach mode so we headed on over to Hula's Island Grill for burgers & tasty fries... hey it's OK to junk out every so often!
