Dahlia & Bryan's Visit

Dahlia & Bryan's long road trip adventure across the country culminated here in San Francisco, where they spent a week with us before heading to New Zealand for two and half more months of adventuring.  Here are some photos from their visit:

Cuddling up for some stories before bedtime.

On the way to "Tot Yontif" Yom Kippur services.

After services, we walked to Japan Town for lunch at a noodle house (fasting is no fun for pregnant women and toddlers), and we actually stumbled upon a really cool J-Pop street fair with lots of cool crafts, costumes, food, and music.

Getting a shoulder ride from Uncle Bryan on the way to Muir Woods.

Inside the hollowed trunk of a giant redwood tree.

Other kids were waiting their turn to go in, but we had a hard time coaxing Mateo out of  his hiding spot.

Practicing his balance along the edge of the boardwalk.

Cute close-up.

Another fun hiding spot inside a burned out redwood trunk.

Pondering life amidst the wise old redwoods.

Painting with Aunt Dahlia.

A team effort.
