Summer in Review

This is months late, but better than no post at all I think. In early June, we went to San Francisco so Zach could attend WWDC. This is our second year going as a family and it was much more fun this year as Violet was old enough to experience some pretty fun things. We played during the day and then Zach joined us for dinner and the evening. The first pics are of Violet at the aquarium on Fisherman's Wharf. She loved the Nemo's! Everything underwater is Nemo to her. She touched a ray fish and thought that was pretty awesome.






Violet had her first experience with the beach in San Francisco. San Francisco isn't known for it's great beaches but we went anyway. I took her to Baker Beach. We didn't go near the water (I'm sure it was frigid) but she loved the sand. She layed her whole face in it. She had sand everywhere by the time we were done, but the mess was worth it for some great pictures. That's the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.





Other notable events include Violet's first time on a carousel and it also happened to be a panda cub to ride on! This carousel was at a little theme park in Vacaville, CA which is half-way between San Fran and Sacramento. We met some of Zach's friends there with their little girl. It was probably 104 degrees and ridiculously hot. But while there Zach took my favorite shots of Violet from the whole summer. Check them out. Her cuteness kills me.

It's nice to check your neighbor's blog and find out that she's pregnant! I won't tell anyone until you do (except Jim). I am so happy that there will be more uncommonly good-looking Wiley children to entertain us during church!
