The craziness …

It makes me tired just watching that!

Not surprisingly, Maya passed out on the way home.

And I woke up late, tired and sore from all the trampolining.

The party was a great success!

Robb, Akuch and Alo stopped at the house on the way to the party.

Give that girl a box of Snickers …

Teacher training workshop completed. It was a lot of work, but great. They don’t call it an intensive for nuthin!

We got done early yesterday, so Lynn and I took the Metro (which stops right across the street from our motel) downtown. We started off at the Asian Art Museum, and from there walked to the Wharf where we ate dinner at a little Mexican restaurant, similar to Wahoo’s, and caught the Metro back home.

The picture above is of the front of the museum.

Here are some pictures I took during our outing.20140308-024947.jpg20140308-025005.jpg20140308-025026.jpg20140308-025112.jpg20140308-025137.jpg20140308-025223.jpg20140308-025309.jpg20140308-025335.jpg20140308-025429.jpg

Grandkids First

Papa took my turn babysitting Alo yesterday.20140228-200809.jpg20140228-200820.jpg
Alo wasn’t going to smile for Papa, but I do like his skeleton outfit!

More Zoo

What do you call the turtle enclosure at the Zoo?

Why, a “turtletorium,” of course.

San Francisco trip second:

After an hour delay due to the weather, the plane finally took off. Above the storm…20140228-202614.jpg

I was starving when we arrived, so we walked to this little cafe around the corner.20140228-203128.jpg
Then went for a walk to the beach two blocks away.20140228-203238.jpg

It was a drizzly (not grizzly…) at the Zoo yesterday. Maya, the toddler in the bubble …

We saw the big parrot.

I’ve got a few more I’ll post in the next few days. I’m sitting at the airport now waiting for my flight to SF for a 7-day Teachers’ Intensive with Manouso Manos. I’m meeting my friend, Lynn, in SF. Her flight from Asheville, NC arrives about 45 minutes after mine. I haven’t seen her in a couple months, so it should be fun.

Bruce, have fun with the little ones, and enjoy Alo this afternoon for me. Take lots of pictures so I can share with everyone.

Oh! & enjoy the rain!! It’s supposed to rain in SF too, but the weather report said So Cal is supposed to get the most of it. Drive safely everyone.

Baddha Konasana

(Baddha = bound; Kona = angle; asana = pose) That’s the “asana” Alo is assuming above. It seems to be his favorite yoga pose. I’ve captured him practicing it before…

And below, a little nap with his friends after playing hard with Amma!

Bruce & Alo with some Maya selfies

I came home yesterday to put on a pair of jeans to head off to work and found Bruce & Alo enjoying some playtime.

And Annie, too (they like each other).

She’s quite the expert at silliness.

Sorry I missed yesterday. We had a huge closing at work and my assistance was needed.
