Week 18 - Project 365

This was another uneventful week, yet we stayed very busy. I don't know what we really did this week. I already posted the pictures of us visiting the temple last week. There is a lady from church who has a lemon tree in her yard with more lemons than she knew what to do with. So I took the girls lemon picking one day and it was so much fun!! Well, the actual picking part wasn't that fun, but their yard was really fun and I had to drag the girls away when it was time to leave. She has a huge yard with a pond with big fish, she had a dog named Spot, and a cat that was very friendly. And then all this open space to run around in. It was so fun.  So her yard was really my dream photo shoot location, but I didn't bring my camera. I do keep a little point and shoot in the diaper bag, so I grabbed that. But the battery was dying fast. I got some cute pictures of the girls playing. But I'd love to go back with my camera, and with the girls dressed a little better for a photo shoot. 

Here we are actually picking lemons. David loves to make lemonade, so we went and got two buckets full of lemons.
This past weekend, David surprised me with a getaway into the city. I was so excited to go. My mother-in-law watched the girls and we took Charlotte with us. It was rainy the entire time, so we did stay pretty wet, but still managed to have a fun relaxing time together. We ate at our favorite Brazilian place, and got our favorite Ghirardelli ice cream. We slept in and read magazines, we ate a yummy breakfast and explored parts of the city we had never been to. We even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to Ikea!

This spot was from the bottom of a trail that lead up to a lighthouse. We were going to walk up to it until we realized it was pretty steep and we only had the stroller, no snugli. But the view was still pretty spectacular from here. 
This is Spencer Battery, were the Bay used to be protected by big cannons and missles. It was very windy up here so we didn't stay too long. 
We went to Alamo Square to visit Danny, Joey and Uncle Jesse. This is the most photographed street in the city. It had a great view of the city, which you can't see too great because it was so rainy and foggy. 
It was a great chance to relax and be by ourselves. (even though we had the baby with us) I wished it could have lasted longer!

We also had Charlotte's baby blessing this weekend. But I still need to download the picture. I don't think it turned out too great. Everyone was crying in the picture!
