We went over four bridges on the bay this week. This, of course, was our trip over the Golden Gate.
We hiked around Muir Woods to see the redwoods and enjoy some of God’s beautiful creations.
I’m not sure why, but Aiden loved this exhibit. I loved that there was a little Asian boy reading the plaques (dates representing when the rings of this old tree grew, labeled with events like the Revolutionary War) and asking his dad, “So this tree watched the Americans fight the British? Dad, really?” I didn’t hear his dad’s answer, but I was impressed the tiny boy had a general idea of the Revolutionary War even though he didn’t seem to see that a CA tree would not see that particular war...
After Aiden landed on his knees in the mud, he walked around like this, saying “Ick!” Even after we wiped off his hands, he was worried about his pants and walked for awhile without bending his knees so the pants wouldn’t touch his skin, and he kept staring at the mud spots. It was so funny; maybe he has a little of me after all!
The temple lighting was Saturday night, and we went to see it after the initial rush. It was beautiful, as always. I love to look at the lights and the beautiful temple and the nativity and feel how much our Heavenly Father loves His children to bless us with so much.
The perfect ending to a great week: Fenton’s ice cream. Have you seen the Disney movie, Up? We were tempted to sit on the curb with ice cream cones, but it was FREEZING outside. We certainly enjoyed our ice cream inside though.
