4th of July Picnic (on the 1st)

Hi there all you readers.

Yesterday after church was the annual 4th of July picnic. It was at nearby Lake Chabot (shu-bo) where we had fantastic weather, all the free watermelon you could eat (of which Warren ate 3 slices all by himself...his new favorite food), and plenty of good conversation. My boys had a blast riding the hot wheels and meeting lots of new people. A family friend, Curt, was kind enough to push Warren around for a while on the bike.

When we got home, we all relaxed and the boys played with great-Grandma (my mom's mom) who came with us to the picnic. It's pretty amazing to see so many generations all together.

I attempted to get a shot of the boys wearing their matching 4th of July t-shirts, but wasn't very successful. Jake didn't want to pose at first, and by the time we finally coaxed him into doing it, Warren had had enough!

It was quite a fun day.

Odds & Ends

We made it! After leaving only an hour behind schedule Saturday morning (11:00 a.m.) we had a pretty uneventful drive and arrived at 5:30 to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Jake could hardly contain his excitement as we pulled up into the driveway and saw Grandpa walk out of the house! We had a nice time at church this morning and saw lots of friends from our Castro Valley church.

On another note, Warren discovered he loves riding Jake's motorcycle. I put him on it and he held on tight enough for me to let go of him and push him down the driveway! Jake thought it was very funny that Wo-Wo was riding his bike. Here's a pic.

Since he started wearing shoes, Warren is balancing longer and longer after he lets go of furniture. Oh the trouble we'll be in with 2 walking terrors!
