The Dustrud family went to Tilden Park in Berkeley last weekend. I can't believe we've never been there. Miles and miles of park, a lake with a beach, a merry-go-round with cotton candy, and train rides. Toddler bliss. The photos are awful, but here's a quick look.
The Annas and some of their parents hit the zoo last weekend. It was cloudy and cold, but the girls had fun. Anna D. especially liked the petting zoo, where she got to brush some pygmy goats.
Somehow, Brian chose the phone with the world's worst camera. But he took a photo of super hot pants Anna in the kitchen trying on her new swimsuit. It's hard to see, but it's got little white stars and a daisy duke belt and halter top. SO STINKIN' CUTE. If only the hair were in pigtails ....
From a James Ledbetter column about why things on the Internet can't all be free:
"... the rationale that Bloomingdale's CEO Marvin Traub supposedly gave to Rupert Murdoch for not advertising in the New York Post still makes the point: 'Your readers are our shoplifters.' "
They're not much, pigtail-wise, but man oh man they're cute.
I wish I could say this is something Anna will be doing for the rest of her life, but who knows? Well, at least I have proof she once read it (pretended to read it) ...
Anna and I went down to the annual Bay to Breakers race last weekend. We didn't stay long, but long enough for Anna to get a good glimpse of the craziness.
We had a little picnic in the park last weekend.
She told me the other day and it was AWESOME. Best Mother's Day gift ever. It wasn't quite on Mother's Day, but it was totally worth the wait. We were waiting for music class to start and we were "talking" about something and she just leaned in and said it to me all sweet-like without anyone talking about love beforehand. SO COOL!
Anna and I hit Baker Beach again on Saturday.
