Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Chuck's visit-August 09 (Part 2)

Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Chuck's visit-August 09 (Part 1)

Jacob and Josh had a fantastic time with Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Chuck, and sucked up as much attention from them as they possibly could. In addition to our field trips to various museums in the area (SF Academy of Science, Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, San Jose Children's Discovery Museum), we spent time splashing around at the Menlo Park Pool, hob nobbing at the Stanford Shopping Center, checking out the Rodin Sculpture Garden at Stanford (we never actually made it inside the museum to see anything beyond the sculptures), playing (and relaxing) at home, and taking walks in the neighborhood.

At Uncle David and Aunt Judi's house

And here are a few pictures from Uncle David and Aunt Judi's house in Tiburon...

Uncle Michael's here too!

We met Uncle Michael up in San Francisco (where he ran the 2009 SF Marathon the following day!) and enjoyed a few hours at Yerba Buena together.

Ari, Zachary and Aunt Alyse visit CA

Jacob and Josh were THRILLED to have Aunt Alyse and cousins Ari and Zachary visit this July. Here are a few pictures of the boys playing together...

A few pics from Tahoe...

Starting at the top:

• Craig with Jacob, Hank and Oliver
  
• An attempt at a family picture (thanks for the effort, Lucy!)
  
• Rachel and Josh at the house
  
• Craig and the boys taking a rest at Taylor Creek
• Jacob playing in the sand at the lake
• Craig reading to Josh and Tessa back at the house
• Backyard painting extravaganza (thanks for organizing, Kevin!)
  

And here's a short video of Josh when we stopped for lunch on the way back home after the trip... He saw a piece of sweet potato on his foot, and didn't want to miss out. I quickly got out my phone and was able to capture the aftermath. Oy!

Jake and Josh at the window

Here's a short clip of Jake & Josh looking out the window together this morning... [sorry about the backlighting... I thought the video was cute enough to post anyway :) ]
