San Francisco

This weekend we had the privilege to go up and visit our family in Roseville to celebrate Dean's ordination. I can't believe Dean is 12, time sure flies when you're having fun. I love this sweet boy. Every time he comes over or we go over to his house he always greets me with a big warm hug. I love being his aunt!

Here's his big brother Drew whom we were able to go up for his ordination also.

+I meant to take a family pictures after church but with all that was going on and trying to figure out where all the kids were after church, I totally forgot all about it..darn!

Here's one of the reasons why Mike is the favorite uncle. He loves playing and running around with his nieces and nephews and pushing them so fast on the swing it made all the mommas nervous, hehe

The day after the ordination Ann made every body yummy lunch and we all hung around laughing and having a good ole time. Jill was in San Francisco with her friends and even got to drive in and join us for the fun.

On Monday we decided to drive to San Francisco and do a couple of tourist-y stuff.

 Mike and Evan played a candy game in which who ever held the candy in their mouth the longest wins...oh boys. Mike said that when he was younger they would play that game on road trips but instead of candy they would do it with grapes...GROSS! :) I guess you have to find ways of keeping 8 kids entertained and quiet on long road trips. Papa you are so smart!

Gracie opted out of playing. I don't blame her

Elizabeth is the best tour guide. She knew were all the hot spots were without being crowded with tourists. Check out this view on top of the hill!

This was our second time visiting the Golden Gate Bridge but the first time didn't count because it was late at night and we were driving by on our way home. This was much, much better.

There was even a little hike spot on the hill with great views. Millie say "Cheesh"

Oh hey there good looking!

It was so pretty up there and the weather was so great.

 Sorry about the upside down pic, wans't sure how to turn it around...oh well

Crazy Mike!

 I thought the tunnel looked kinda cool so we had a little 1 minute photo session. Thanks Drew you are quite the photographer

Mike and I took some of the kids across the Bridge. The littles stayed with Grandma and Beeb.

It was quiet windy!

 Since we were a little short on time Gracie and I decided to jog across the bridge. Look at us go! There were so many people there Conrad almost got ran over like 567 times. Crazy boy!

  Gracie and I stopped by for a quick picture. It was so windy we had to hold our hair down to keep it out of our face. Isn't she presh!

Thank goodness it was a clear day because a couple of days earlier it had been overcast.

Golden Gate Bridge survivors!

 After walking across Marcia and Elizabeth picked us up on the other side and we headed over to Fisherman's Wharf for some fish and ships. We found a nice little corner, away from all the birds, where we could eat our food and listen to a band playing Bob Marley music.

 After lunch we headed over to Ghirardelli to eat ice cream covered in delicious chocolate 

What a great looking bunch!

 It was finger licking good huh Gracie?

I'm sad it was such a short trip but so happy we were able to spend the day with family eating delicious food. We had such a great time. I'm so proud of my nephew for being such a good great man. Always doing good in school and fulfilling his church callings.  He's going to make a great missionary some day!
