Wow it went so great! I should have guessed. Lucy rocked it.
The lessons are at La Petit Baleen. The photos will speak for themselves. She’s such a little peanut. Cole took Lucy in, because I have a little cut I didn’t want to get wet. So, thanks so much Uncle Cole!
We scheduled Oscar and Lucy’s lessons for the exact same time. Next week I will be in the pool and not able to snap any photos – so this worked out perfectly.

The Schmidts invited us up to enjoy the pool and a barbeque at Carmen’s home in Silverado. We got our first swimming of the summer! The weather was absolutely perfect.
The Kellys came along too – aren’t they so cute?
Helmut caught a baby rattlesnake! It wanted to bite us, but it couldn’t get out of the bucket. He took this pic:
I had a couple of drinks, relaxed, and promptly forgot to take any more photos until we were leaving. The food was amazing. (Wish I had a photo.) Carmen made her Salvadoran baked beans. Lucy ate steak and ribs!
The sun is setting so late these days, and of course we weren’t watching the clock. The kids were up past 9. Counting the fact that Lucy only slept 30 minutes in the car, and swam for a couple hours, it might as well have been midnight for her. Thanks honey for driving us home safely! :) Also, thanks Jamey and Helmut – awesome day!!
We went to Trevor’s last week, to play in his backyard and clubhouse (“Mom, it’s not a clubhouse if you don’t have your buddy in it with you”.) Needless to say, No Girls Allowed.
At 2pm the fog was threatening to blow in to SF, so I had to step on it. I was racing west on Geary, and wondering who would win the race to 46th ave. Somehow, the fog changed it’s mind, and the afternoon turned hot. Sunscreen hot! We even borrowed some sun hats as you will see. Shelly made the most amazing Mango Pineapple juice in her juicer that I am now coveting.. All in all, a really fun playdate! Thanks Shells!
Ps. This tree lives in their neighbors yard. Isn’t it beautiful? Growing up I remember a dislike for cypress trees – now I love them! What was I thinking!
The kids liked it. So much went over their heads, and that’s a good thing. Don’t get me started on a rant about violence and torture scenes in kids movies.
We met up with Shelly and Trevor, Jen with Will and Ben, Katie with Issy and Eva, and even saw Tiago and Matteo with their grandparents.
This photo is a miracle because when the kids saw the moms break out the cameras, they scattered like dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly.
Omi, thank you for watching Lucy, and I’m so sorry she picked off all the orchid flowers!
Just in time! I finally got this off my “to-do” list, and it only took me eleven months. :)

Show notes:
Most photos were taken by Kristi. Yes, she does rock. No, Rob played his “get-out-of-jail” card. Yes, the head lice were successfully fended off with lots of Tea Tree Oil. No, that was a bee sting. Yes, Calamity Jane, a.k.a. Kristi, was on crutches. And antibiotics again. Lucy was 8 1/2 months. The puppy, Stella, was *brand new*, the weather was Gorgeous, and this WILL be the last year of cute kids with no clothes on (in pictures anyways). And YES Camp July is on for 2011, San Francisco!!!
