A birthday without cake...

45 years old. Oh well, it was bound to happen.

The day was very mellow and uneventful except for my last physical therapy session - I graduated!!


We hit up Meeks Bay late in the day for some beautiful afternoon rays.
 

The water is still freezing!!

Getting ready for a week of hot temps!

Kenzo entertaining himself on the way home from dinner!

No pony, no cake, but still a very nice day!!
 

The Weekend

A Meeks Bay afternoon, finally! 

Can't wait to spend the summer here. 

Looks like we need to buy more sunscreen...

Dinner here with Jen, Derek & Kjell, Paul & Yasmin...

Birthday cake for Paul's 36th...plus 15, minus 3. 

Anyway, too much math involved for someone who looks as good as he does!!

Father's Day

Summer = lake time!

We spent a great afternoon at Hilary's place on the lake with friends & lots of dogs.

Kenzo had his first fishing experience off the pier.

The next day, Father's Day, we had a picnic with friends at Common's Beach.

 

And the new week started with a stop at our favorite place...Kenzo calls it the "Muffin House."

Yes, a haircut is desperately needed.

 

Visit to the Bay

We made a trip to visit Uncle Takemi last week - what fun!

Pier 39 carousel ride - LOVED IT! 

Beautiful but chilly afternoon in SF!

Oakland Zoo - beautiful day out there...actually HOT!







 

Giant tortoise!
 

The amusement park was a huge hit!

Happy National Doughnut Day!

A stop at station #19 ended up with the guys getting a call! 

Lights, sirens & horn all ON for Kenzo's sake...they weren't rushing off to anything on fire. 

Station #8 truck pulled in right behind our parking spot. How did he know Kenzo was waiting for him?!

Happiest kid ever!

May fun...oh wait, it's June
