Cooling off in the cooler

It was hot that day, so we got the kids into their swimsuits and dragged out anything we could put water in to cool them off. Whose idea was it to put water in the cooler anyways...?

Camping in Tahoe!

We took our annual camping trip to D.L. Bliss in Tahoe with John's co-workers. It's not really camping, so much, as drinking outside! From Bloody Mary's to Margarita's it's a weekend of debauchery. Coco (and Oliver) loved the princess tent someone brought, and she only got a little dirty playing in the dirt! We were so relaxed we had her drive us home.






Painting Rocks

This is kind of funny because when we first started painting the rocks, Coco seemed very concerned about making a mess, but the end of it all she wanted to do was paint herself. The white paint looks just like her sunblock so she started rubbing it all over her arms!

My Kid Could Paint That

..well, actually, she did! We started off painting rocks, then switched to paper. After working with brushes Coco started painting her hands then the paper, then just painted herself. She asks to paint almost everyday now. It's messy but fun to watch her get so into it.





Alameda Beach

After Dim Sum we went to Alameda beach. It was windy and not very warm and Coco would not even stick one little chubby toe into the water. Jazmine did, and played with jelly fish, while John relaxed.





Dim Sum in Alameda

Our favorite Dim Sum is at South Ocean in Alameda. Be prepared to wait for a table on Sundays....
