San Francisco! or "FRISCO" as Addyson says...

WARNING: This is MAJOR picture overload...

We had SUCH an awesome time a couple of weeks ago when my family drove out to stay with us for Brynley's baptism...and hopefully get a little R & R, lol...
The girls were counting down the days 3 months ahead of time.
When grandma and grandpa and everyone finally arrived, the girls could hardly believe their eyes!
We crammed (comfortably) another 6 bodies into our 3 bedroom apartment...
The girls were excited to "camp out." On friday, we drove over to San Francisco (about 2 hours away) and spent time on Pier 39 and Aquarium of the Bay...The weather was perfect. A little windy, but warm enough...
Brynley was excited to have Addyson on a leash...she really wants a dog.

Addyson was really excited to be the "pretend" dog on the leash. She played the part well...but I wouldn't let her crawl on her hands and knees, lol. Pretty sure she barked and licked though...
Uh...man in white with terets syndrome?
This is what the girls thought about him...probably wondering where the HECK we are taking them...some other world??
Oh...and Mr Gold Man...he said it "ain't right" that I took his picture without throwing some coins in his can...Glad he's a statue made of gold so he can't stalk me for some change...
The girls and Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the sun and street performer on the Pier...Addyson's famous pop-eye smile...
AQUARIUM...it was amazing.
LOVE this one...she cracks me up!
So does she...
SHARKS!
Looking out at Alcatraz...Uncle Dane came through with some quarters. Thanks Dane!
Sea Lions...
Brooklyn and Addyson...Doing what they do best.
Dancing on Pier 39...they drew a crowd SO big! The people thought they were putting the money in the canister for them! Brooklyn later decided that she wanted to make her own money. She insisted on emptying her juice cup out and setting it out in front of her so she could sing and earn some cash. We actually LET her do it...

on Pier 39.
In San Fran.
At dusk.

She made $2...not good enough for her. But we wouldn't let her go on anymore.
Try swaying this girl when she's made up her mind...
NOT fun.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM (and Grandma!) WE LOVE YOU!
Glad we could spend it with you!
Aunt Shaina, Brooklyn and Addyson...
The girls trying to get cousin Toby to smile at Shaina...
Addyson's Pop-eye smile. ;)
Brynley on the Pier...she was in heaven.
LOVE this picture of Sean and Toby...!
Just had to throw this one in of Addyson...it captures the TRUE color of her eyes.
SO beautiful!
Oh, and this one too...we aren't Twilight fans so much, but I think this pic of them is SO funny!
Uncle Dane and Addyson...thanks for the entertainment!
Hmmm...dancing for the 2nd time around...drawing a crowd for the 2nd time...
guitar man better be happy...these girls are SO serious about what they do.
Exhausted...Sean and Toby at the motel in San Fran...resting up for another full day.
The famous winding street...(what's it called? lol) We decided there is NO way you can drive a stick in San Francisco...
Farmer's Market. Mom and Sean shopping...
Mmmm...SO glad Sean stopped for Fortune Cookies. YUM-ee.
Good times...good times.
Oh, but we can't forget BAMBU, huh dad? lol...

Oh so fun!! San Francisco is my favorite place to vacation! There's just so much to see and experience. We'll be there in 2 weeks thanks to JetBlue's 9 dollar flights!

Looks like fun, but I must admit the video was better than the pictures! LOL We really need to do a family outing there. My boys would love the aquarium~
