Memorial Day weekend

Dan had to work all day Saturday and Sunday, so I took the kids to Berkeley on Saturday afternoon. We were planning to go to the beach on Sunday, but it was really foggy and cold - in the 50s - so we ended up going to the Lawrence Hall of Science on Sunday morning instead. The kids had a great time playing with various interactive things like a big plexiglass box with colored plastic balls inside that you can squirt water at to move them around and try to make them move up on some fountains.



Before we left on Sunday, Douglas was playing outside with the baseball bat, took a swing and lost control of the bat and it broke my mother's window by the booth in her kitchen. Oops. There was glass everywhere both inside and out.

Yesterday Dan didn't have to go to work until around 3 so we went for a hike in Cold Canyon, up in the hills west of Winters. These pictures are from our hike. It was very pretty there. The California buckeye was in bloom (you can see in the lower left of the second picture). We saw at least four different kinds of butterflies. Afterward we ate lunch at the Putah Creek Cafe in Winters, always a good place. To wrap up the afternoon when Dan left for work, the boys and I went to the pool.


Only a couple more weeks of school. The last day for Owen is June 14.
