Baby Ish

Saturday, May 3, 2008

Syd had an outing at Blue Moon Riding School in Half Moon Bay with her friend, Jesske. She fell in love with Baby Ish while there.

Jesske had her riding lesson on her favorite horse, Cherokee, while Syd waited on the sidelines. Afterwards they groomed and adored the horses.

April Outings

Sunday, April 6, 2008

The first Sunday of the month is a free guided bird walk at the San Francisco Botanical Garden at Golden Gate park. Syd and I go up early to check it out.  Syd was thrilled to see a her favorite bird, the Scrub Jay.

On our way home we passed by this new glass and light sculpture by Dale Chihuly in front of the deYoung art museum.

Later in the day we took advantage of the breezy spring day and went for a kite fly on the beach. Keith is controlling the stunt kite in the background, Kyra (Syd's buddy) is holding the Toucan in the foreground and Syd is holding the Butterfly behind it.
