Living That Farm Life

Today we visited Lemos Farms in Half Moon Bay! We were invited to a private party by the law firm that TerViva has been working where we got to enjoy breakfast, lunch, crafts, and admission to the farm. After a muffin and coffee we were off to the pony rides! We thought Adeline might just want to watch but turns out she really wanted to ride one too! 






After watching the other kids it was finally Adeline's turn! She got to ride on Snickers. I had all the Mama feels handing my baby over to ride on a pony!! eeek! The boys were so nice though and held on to her so nicely. 







The boy stepped just out of view for a moment so I could get this picture and my heart dropped!







Adeline had such a big smile the whole time and even waved and said Mama and Papa to us on her ride. Where is my baby?! I'm glad she had fun but I was so relieved when the boy handed her back to Will!

Next we got to feed the goats! I didn't get to take a picture of it but there was a sign that read "Do no pick up the baby goats." LOL, what must have happened that they had to put up that sign?!



Then Adeline was "Hunnry" so we stopped for a snack.





We took the snack on the road to look at the "pool." It's hard to see in the pictures but there was a little pond with some fountains. This girl loves water!







While we were waiting in line for the train we found the Sikkas and got to ride with them!



Adeline found some pumpkins to play in!







We ate a quick veggie burger lunch in the private party area before we headed home. Adeline slept for an hour and a half so we just drove around and decided to stop at REI. Will needed a headlamp and apparently Adeline needed a new hat. I saw this one and thought it was soft so put it on her head. She checked herself out and then said "no," shook her head and gave it back to me. I put it back on the shelf and next thing I know she picked up a different one, gave it to Will to put on her, and walked all around the store with it on and wouldn't take it off!






After REI we stopped at Westbrae Biergarten a few blocks away for a beer and Adeline had some more snacks. She has also learned how to say "ice" so now we sing "ice ice baby" because she knows those words! She and Will had fun playing before we loaded up in the car to head home.


We had such a fun day out and about but it was fun to settle in back home. Here she is cleaning her kitchen at home in her new hat.



Today was such a fun Fall day!

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B

Will Pitches Hawaii

Image
Will's company, Terviva, recently won a grant allowing them to get a commercial size planting of their trees in the ground. The project will take place mostly on the island of Oahu. As part of the grant program the company is invited to pitch its concept to a group of about 250 private investors from the state of Hawaii. Since Will has been working so hard on getting the project going, he was the person chosen to give the pitch! Will worked incredibly hard preparing for this event and did a great job! Will created new connections and peaked the interest of several people in the audience. Will has received great praise for his work by his colleagues and the people who are offering the grant. I'm so proud of his work! Here is a link to the video explaining what Terviva is planning to do in Hawaii. This video was submitted as part of the grant application. Video Link On stage! Nailed it!

A Day in Napa Valley

Image
Beginning with our first wedding anniversary, Will and I have spent a day visiting a winery or two.  It was my dream that someday we would take a trip to Napa or Sonoma to celebrate our anniversary; maybe for our 20th anniversary or the like. Never did I imagine that we would be spending our third wedding anniversary exploring Napa and San Francisco! We decided a short while ago that we didn't want to have to worry about either of us driving, one, because neither of us really knew where we were going, two, so that both of us could look out the windows and enjoy the scenery, and three is a no brainer, we would be tasting wine all day!  We explored some options and decided on a shuttle bus tour that would take us from SF to Napa, take us to several wineries, and end with a ferry ride on the bay back into the city. What a great choice we made! Not only did we get to lay back and enjoy the ride, we had the opportunity to meet and talk with a lot of interesting people! Saturday, Au
