My Idea of a Perfect Weekend

For the first time in a long time, we didn’t have anything planned for the weekend. And it was actually quite perfect.

Friday night after work, we had a somewhat cranky Olivia on our hands but I was in the mood big time for some Pho soup, and we have a great place that we go to. So, we ended up taking the girls there with us, and it was pretty late, so we thought Olivia would fall asleep on the way there and Bea on the way home. Neither happened. But they were off to bed shortly after we got home.

On Saturday morning when we all woke up, it was nice to not be in a rush. We just kind of layed around in the morning and did nothing. The girls somewhat slept in, but we were all up by 7 (late for us these days)…

Anyway, we made some new friends, and we were invited over to their home in the afternoon for some beer can chicken and fresh-fried abalone. They also have a daughter that is 11 days younger than Bea, so it was fun to watch the two of them together, so similar in size and in their actions. They really kept each other busy running around and playing. And, oh how they ate their apple pie (that Josh made) with vanilla ice cream in their booster chairs at the table together, it was definitely a cute sight. Bea learned her new friends name and said it every chance she got, even the next day.

Sunday morning was lazy as well. We had planned to go to the big Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. The weather wasn’t too nice, and we figured it was going to be cold, foggy and drizzly there, so we opted for a pumpkin patch closer to home that we had been to before in Morgan Hill. There was a train, tractor ride, hayride and tons of pumpkins. The girls went on their first train ride with us and they had a great time…it makes me look forward to the Disneyland trip in a few years because they had such excitement on their faces. We picked out three pumpkins and then headed home. Here’s some pics from yesterday:





And quite possibly my favorite of them all:
