Into the City...

We decided to drive into San Francisco on Thursday for a little walk around the Warf and some dinner.


My hansom little cousin is all ready to go!


The seagull was eyeballing us. :-)



The fog cleared just enough for us to see Alcatraz


Cute Cousins



And of course... what's the warf without a nice bowl of clam chowder?



The nice waiter brought a little treat for Ruby.





All bundled up for a cool evening walk.


For December in The Bay it's suprisingly warm.


We stopped by an art gallery on the way back.


Another fun evening.

Global Wonderland

My wonderful uncle gave us all tickets to Great America's "Global Wonderland". It was SOOOO cool! Everything was made out of Chinese lanterns. The pictures don't do it justice at ALL! It was amazing!







This was one of several creations made out of spoons and tea cups...




The Astrological signs...










After a wonderful day, off we went back to the house and of course the sweet cat who was not as fond of us as we were of him. :-)


He HATED Ruby! LOL Poor guy! And Ruby was a little nervous around him too. LOL

Happy Hollow

Every year we are fortunate enough to be able to come down to the S.F. Bay Area where a lot of the family is able to gather together for the Christmas season. We are able to meet with lots of family and try to take a TON of pictures soaking up every moment.



We met with Heather and Xara and went to "Happy Hollow" to have a little fun. WE all loved looking at the animals...


...and the animals liked looking at us... and Ruby too.





Xara wasn't too sure about some of the animals.


Taking a little walk.


The ring-tailed lemurs REALLY did not like Ruby!


We also we able to spot the illusive Michael in the brush...



Stopped for a little photo-shoot


The little meerkats were very interested in Ruby.


SOOOO funny!


Off to play!


"Where are yooooouuuuu???"



Helping her up the stairs...



What a fun afternoon!
