Escaping the Heat

We had to get out of the crazy Livermore heat for the weekend so on Saturday we took the long way around (due to the Bay Bridge closure-ahh) to San Francisco.

It was fun, we were so happy to get out of the heat and Gianna got to take her first trip to the Japanese Tea Garden and Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers. She loves plants and being outside so it was the perfect trip for her!

We also got some amazing pictures of her on the lawn in Golden Gate Park. She thought she was getting away with murder because we set her on the grass and let her play with the flowers. It was so cute!

After a great day out we found out that Grandma and Great Grammy were in San Francisco too so we met them for Dinner. The after dinner we headed down to Great Grammy's to stay for the rest of the weekend.

On Sunday Gina (happy birthday!) came by with Alexia and Portia so the 2nd cousins got to hang out, although the age differences are so great they don't really play together. But we did get a few pictures. In this one they are all looking at my mom, ha ha! At least no one is blinking :)

On Monday we went over to Stanford Shopping center for a walk. We didn't walk long though because Justin's bee sting that he got on the arch of his foot Saturday just as we were leaving Golden Gate park was still all puffy and bothering him. Next we headed back to Great Grammy's for a BBQ and visit with some of Mommy's cousins and Gianna's 2nd cousin, Courtney. Courtney has gotten even bigger since we last saw her! She is the most mellow baby though. Even when Gianna tries to attack her she just keeps hanging out. She is so cute! And she is definately heavier than Gianna.

Well, now we are back in Livermore and we went on our walk this morning, Gianna was so cranky! Sorry to everyone who was there. She's having a hard time napping, but hopefully the weather cooling down will help her sleep better.
