China Town, Cable Cars, Lombard Street, OH MY!!!!

One of my best friends, Katie Rojas, and her three daughters are visiting us this week. We have been busy sightseeing and going way too many places with our five kids. Here are some pictures of some of the things we have been up to:


Here we are at a tiny Fortune Cookie Factory. Did you know that fortune cookies were created in the US??

Here is Brooke trying on a funny hat. She could pass as an Asian girl right?

Here is Luke trying to be a giesha. He loves playing with fans.

Here we are trying to get onto a Cable Car. We stayed on for two stops and then decided to get off since it was obvious that nobody wanted us on. Me, 7 months pregnant, 5 kids, 1 stroller and Katie all trying to fit into a crowded cable car was a pretty funny sight!

Here is Lombard street from the bottom. Katie stood up through my sun-roof to get this shot. The kids had fun driving down the crooked street and enjoyed playing "ride the roller coaster" on some of the other hilly streets in the city.

Here is Katie painting all the kids faces. She is an art major and did this for fun.

Look how cute they turned out!!!! Here is Luke, Lucy, Carmen, and Brooke. They loved them! THANKS KATIE


Here we are looking at the Golden Gate Bridge. See it is foggy in July!


Luke, Lucy, and Brooke were collecting sand-dollars at the beach.


Here are the kids playing at the park by JR's work.
