Zoo and more

One great thing about San Francisco is the free days. The first week of the month all museums are free on Tuesday and the Zoo is free on Wednesday. This month the free zoo day fell on May 6, which is my birthday, so we took our first family trip to the zoo. We had a great day. The boys favorite animal was the peacock. At least that's what we think. They looked at him for a long time. The day started off with free KFC (thanks to Liz for the email hint) and then the free zoo and then we had free dinner with a group that was visiting InnerCHANGE and then I had free cake and ice cream made by friends....a day full of free fun.


My garden is planted! I finally finished on Sunday. There was record heat (near 100) so my plants loved it, but then on Monday it was about 50...crazy San Francisco weather. I hope my seeds and plants are not in shock. I have 3 cherry tomato plants, a strawberry plant (soon to be planted), herbs, carrots, broccoli, peas, flowers, beans, lettuce, swiss chard and spinach all in my little 4 foot X 4 foot box. It makes me happy to have this project started.






The boys are starting to move around like crazy. They love to stand in there crib and bounce up and down. Jake loves chewing on the railing, it reminds me of when horses chew on fences...it sounds like he is grinding his teeth off.
They are tons of fun...

Hawaii



Well, we made it home from Hawaii and had a great time. The boys loved the sand and loved seeing Granny and Gran-dad Burton and of course they loved playing with uncle will and jon. It was great to get some time without the boys and just hang out on the beach. I was kind of hoping we'd get quarantined because of the swine flu and then we'd never have to leave! Oh well, it is good to be home. They boys did great on the airplane; everyone said what good babies they were. We got asked about a thousand times if they were twins...I wanted to make up some story of why they look alike and dress alike but are not twins, but I didn't come up with one.

Here are some of the cutest pictures in the world:
