Copeland Visit

We had such a terrific visit with the Copelands!  What a blessing to be able to spend a whole week together with my sister and her boys :)  We went to the swimming lagoon.  Lily passed the swim test!





 Trey loves new hair styles.  And I picked the first fruits from our garden.
 We enjoyed a sunny day at Doran Beach.



 Of course we stopped for some ice cream at Screamin' Mimis!

 Back into the water in our pool.  The weather was so warm.
 A misty day in San Francisco...
 Hanna, Connor, Maggie, and Elliot in a tunnel, and then looking down a hole.

 
 Over the Golden Gate, and down Lombard Street...

 ...to Coit Tower...
 ...and Pier 39!


Then to Cable Car Museum...
 ...and Chinatown.

 We had fun making pasta...
 



...and going to Healdsburg.






Discovery Kingdom was a blast!
 
The older 4 cousins went on lots of big rides.
 Maike, Lily, Trey, and I saw all the animals, many shows, and went on rides too!
 We thought the sloth was really neat.

 I even got to hold a bird.

This ride flipped us upside down!
 Here is the elephant show.  It was super!

 We got to touch the elephants, watch them work, feed the elephants, and play tug-of-war!




 The butterflies were another amazing experience...especially since one landed on Lily and wouldn't fly off!



  A break...waiting for Thrilla Gorilla.
 The dolphin show was a big hit.

 This dolphin is squeaking at Trey and Lily.
 Here we are!
 Driving home...so fun to hang out!  Lily took this photo.
 Maggie and Elliot are so tired.
 We finally had dinner at 9:30 PM!  In 'N Out, of course!
Our last meal together :(
And a pre-bedtime swim!
 
We are actually enjoying really warm weather right now--so our pool is often used!
