Day in Berkeley

I have had a chance to visit some old friends since I have been here. It has been really nice. I saw Nikki, a friend from High School, on Wednesday. She just had her first baby and she was adorable! I forget how small they are. No pictures, sorry. But it was a nice little viist. We didn't stay long. My kids were a bit cranky and I am sure Nikki needed her rest while Isabella slept. But Thank you Nikki for visiting with us.

On Friday the kids and I headed up to Berkely to visit a Friend that I hadn't seen since I was pregnant with RJ. She is one of my oldest friends. I have known her since before Kindergarten. It was really fun getting together with her. I wish we lived closer so we could get together more often. RJ took this picture of Annie and me.

We had lunch in Berkeley and the kids spilt their drinks like three or four times. The waiters, I am sure, were glad to have us leave. I had hummus and pita bread and some other stuff which I am not sure what they were called, but it was good. And RJ had a 5 dollar hotdaog if you can beleive a hot dog could cost that much. Luckly he ate it all unlike his sister who only ate a 1/4 of her cheese sandwhich. After lunch we went up into the Berkeley Hills where they had a little nature area and a fun little farm for kids to feed to animals. Except you were supposed to bring your own lettuce and celery and we didn't so we didn't get to feed the animals. But it was still fun.
I have always loved the Bay Area. It is always so green and there are hills all around. Thats the one thing I really miss about living in Idaho.

The kids looking at some black sheep.

A rare photo of me and the kids. Those are cows in the background. RJ is still not so sure he really wants one living in our backyard. He wants a hamster.

Look at the smile on this goat. RJ thought it was pretty neat that this goat wouldn't stop smiling.

After the famr we went to a playground and the kids played for a while. Thanks Annie for the nice visit.
