April Outings

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.

Syd started her birthday weekend with a special dinner at home.  She enjoyed her all-time favorite meal - pasta and shrimp. Of course, she saved some room in her belly for the infamous birthday cake, a raspberry mousse concoction.

Saturday festivities included a party with her best pals. Pecan ball cookies and beading necklaces were part of the fun. This time ice-cream cake was the topper.

Toothless

Syd lost her third tooth in two months! Funny how the teeth dropping was inactive in the last couple years.
