Natural History Museum

This last weekend we went to the Natural History Museum, which features a living roof, an aquarium, and a rainforest. It was a total zoo, but Boo was extremely well behaved and had lots of fun looking at everything (even though he looks mad in all the photos). The fire alarm was pulled twice, and we had to evacuate twice! As I said, it was a zoo. Afterwards, everyone conked out.

Some tree frogs Terence thought were disgusting.

Boo's creepy look.

The albino alligator. I couldn't help but think it would probably make a pretty awesome purse.

My favorite gay couple.

Thanks for dinner, Matty-Matt!

One final note: James Lee ROXXS!

A Night at the Children's Theater

Palo Alto has this cute thing they call Hot Dog Theater during the summers, where the Children's Theater puts on shows during dinnertime, and people bring picnic dinners or buy hot dogs from the gawky volunteer teenagers there. It's pretty cute. The show itself was so bad it was good...

Half Moon Bay

Today we started our morning at the Bay Area Nature Preserve. In the afternoon we went with Uncle John to Half Moon Bay, where we visited a farm and the beach.

Here's the pier at the preserve:

Here they are looking at birds' nests.

Here's the duck pond at the preserve. Zoe loves it.

Here we are at Lemo's Farm, which has a petting zoo, train and hay rides, and pony rides.

Boo petting the goats:

On the train ride:


At Barbara's Fish Trap, which has really good fish and chips.

Playing at the beach, Boo's favorite part of the day:

Alexis' party & Stanford

Today we went to a 100 day old b-day party for baby Alexis with Boo and Zoe. Boo's favorite thing there was the "waw. mahl."





After that, we putzed around Stanford with Zoe and Uncle John (not pictured). Thanks for all the great pics, Uncle John!

"Ooooh! Dooh!" Let me in!


Success! "Cool, huh?" Look at all the "doohs!"


Here's the classroom where Terence fell asleep AS A TA! How embarrassing. "Chay? Up-m?"


Sitting on the "chay" is too boring. Let's do something else!


Oooh, "small groks!" What fun!

Just hanging out with "Yay-lo."

Finally, some family pics with "dada," "momma," and "Yay-lo!"

Next stop, Half Moon Bay!

Our other babies

Here are a few outdoor pics of our other babies. But first, here are a couple of our favorite baby.

How many people does it take to put sunscreen on a baby? Speaking of which, California Baby sunscreen here is completely sold out everywhere! Too many frou frou moms around, I guess (I 'scored' a couple of bottles at the local Whole Foods, where they charge an arm and a leg for a teeny little bottle.)

Why wear his "bloo. shoes." if he can wear daddy (or mommy's) shoes?

Here are pics of our new babies. We'll take more at the end of the season. Our house is kinda cute in that it has a brick courtyard in the center of the U shaped house, as well as the typical backyard. Anyway, here are the courtyard veggies and herbs (mostly herbs) that we've planted. I lined the planting area with "biiiig grocks!" since all little boys love rocks.

From front to back: mint, thai basil x2, basil, cilantro, sage, italian parsley, cucumber.

From front to back: cinderella pumpkin, tomatoes.

Here's the backyard square foot garden that Terence built. In it, we have corn, beets, carrots, a lettuce mix, sorrel, bok choy, carrots, and chives.

Finally, here's a picture of one of our two resident "hu-boo-boos," which Boo loves looking for throughout the day.
