June Fun

 It seems like every weekend this month we have a fun adventure with friends and family! Elsa and Liam got to experience Children's Fairyland in Oakland for the first time.  Elsa got to slide down a hill.

 Elsa's favorite place was the crooked house!

 And she also enjoyed the puppet show!

 Liam also had fun.

 Another Sunday we went to Rancho San Antonio and visited the farm there where Elsa made new friends.

For Father's Day Weekend, we went to see the Pippi Longstocking play on Saturday night, and Elsa watched very intently, while holding her Pippi doll from her cousins in Sweden.

On Sunday we adventured to Ardenwood, where the train is once again being pulled by a horse.

Then it was home for some train time with Daddy.

Another weekend, we went to a birthday party and Elsa got to ride a pony!

And then sometimes we just stay home and play.  Elsa like to clean.

She also likes to cuddle up with her brother!

Liam's First Tent Camping Trip

We took Liam on his first camping trip!  We went to the Palo Alto Foothills Park with our friends Ashley and Mike.  Elsa played with Emilia and Liam got to hang out with Paolo.

The girls had fun when the rangers stopped by to introduce them to a snake! This was very exciting and led to them acting like snakes - snakes that eat rocks and become a butterfly! (see video)

It was fun to see the Dads hanging out with the babies.

  And the Moms too!

 Arne and the kids had fun eating breakfast together.

It was a good adventure, and Liam was just really cute.

 

Liam is 6 months old!

Liam keeps growing and getting bigger.  At six months old, he is now 10 pounds more than when he was born, and six inches longer!  In the last month he has started to try a number of new things, like swimming lessons:

His first "solid food" - Rice cereal:

 He is having fun rocking and trying to move forward.

He also gets "pushed around" by his sister.

And all the kids at school - they love to rock him in his car seat.

Liam continues to be a smiling joy, and sometimes a sleeping joy too.
