This is the 5th annual block party on Robinson Circle, but the 2nd year we've had it on 4th of July. It's so successful we may have another before Labor Day! We have such an awesome neighborhood full of g
reat kids and awesome moms (and dads, too of course). Massimo, Dante & Abrianna have a lot of fun with the kids on this block and this year we invited a few more neighbors to join us from across the park. Susan, Rick & Jonathan, Jessica, Mark & Isaac joined us for a little while as the kids jumped their little hearts out in the jump house then
Stacy, Jake, Luke, Zack & Ashley stayed with us until we got ready to watch the fireworks. It was a really fun day with great company, tons and tons of food & fun! The kids were BEAT! This was Massimo's first year staying up to watch the fireworks...and he was already toast at that point but he enjoyed watching it with us just across our driveway as we see the
Happy 4th of July everyone! We had a blast of a day! Actually we celebrated the 4th 2 nights in a row! We had lots of fun with our neighbors & friends this weekend! Friday night we played outside with our neighbor/friends and had a blast running around and eating popsicles, then we had our annual 4th of July block party (street blocked off and all!). Here mom tried to get some patriotic pictures of us. We sort of cooperated. Stay tuned for our block party pictures!
Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay
We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).

The kids watch as Massimo throws darts at the balloons and wins a stuffed dog...he loved it...it was a consolation prize.
