Our Last Day

Our Last Day on our Trip to See the Lewis Family Gretchen took us to the Oakland Temple! It was so Beautiful! I loved the veiw, and the fact that you can walk around on the roof of the temple! SO AWESOME!

Abe at the Temple

A wonderful veiw of the spires

Then it was time to say goodbye, and Abe and I got to go on a little adventure of our very own.

Here is Abe at the Oakland Airport waiting for our plane.

Despite all my worries, Abe was GREAT!!! The plane (luckily) wasn't full, so even though Abe was supposed to be a lap child, he got his own seat! This was most likely the last time Abe will fly for free... sad thought!

Cute Boy! Waiting for take off!

Trying to get a picture of the two of us! LOL!!

We loved our Trip!! Every minute of it, and we can't wait to go visit them again!!

We love you Gretchen and Mark! And little Hank too!

San Francisco Day 2

We went back to San Francisco Tuesday morning, and did a few more things! It was so much fun, and I can't wait to go back to see it all again!

Monday Night in San Francisco

Monday night we went into the City! We rode BART, ( Bay ARea Transit), and Abe LOVED IT!

Mom and Abe on the Train!

Gretch and Hank on the Train!
We didn't do much as it was late, but we did eat yummy chowder, and got to see the seals!
Abe wasn't too interested in them, but at least he took a peek at them!

Mom and Abe infront of Alcatraz!

We had to walk about a mile to and from Bart to peir 39,

so on the way back we took a picture in front of the Coit Tower.

We had a good time, so we decided to go back to San Francisco in the morning!

Marina Park in San Leandro

Gretchen took us to a really fun park on Monday while we were there!

Grethchen and Hank!

Abe instantly found the slide!



Hank tried out the bouncy toy! Abe didn't want to be left out, so he tried!

Then we found the sand!

FEET!!!

Mom and Abe by the water!

Pretty cool!

Side Note

We were supposed to leave friday the 21st, but when we got up that morning, this is how Abe looked. We went to the Dr. as soon as they opened. Aparantly Abe had an alergic reaction to something. We don't know what, but we are suspecting either Honey, or Squash, (the two things he ate out of the ordinary) and we have eliminated nuts for awhile, just to be on the safe side. The Dr. gave him some Zyrtec, and said we were safe to travel, and to call him if the rash didn't go away by the time we got back. Thankfully it was completely gone the next morning, so we decided we could go!

This kid....What are we going to do with him! Left Arm

We Went To California!

My sister Gretchen and her family came out for Hugh's wedding, but her husband had to fly back for work before she was ready to leave. So, on August 22, Abe and I drove the 13 hours to San Leandro, California with Gretchen and her little guy Hank! I didn't get any pics of the ride out there....(you wouldn't have wanted to see them anyway!)

This is the Lewis Home

We had a lot of fun! And a ton of adventures! More pictures to come!
