our first trip to the new Exploratorium

In February, we finally made a visit to the newly revamped Exploratorium. The whole family really enjoyed the new space.

Both girls got a laugh out of the toilet seat drinking fountain.


Jamison enjoyed all the hands on experiments even though she didn't understand the science behind it. It just seemed like a lot of new toys and fun to be had.


The best part, however, according to the girls was the fun climbing structure outside.




Jamison was so proud of herself to make it to the top.



And, there is nothing like sharing a rocking seat with your sister and eating ice cream to end a beautiful day by the bay.




Sophia the First dress

While Jamison still loves Ariel the most, she has been branching out and enjoying other characters. She was very excited to receive this Sophia the First dress from Mimi recently and had to wear it to school the very next day to show all of her friends.


Jessica's Daisy Investiture Ceremony

Back in February, Jessica's Girl Scout troop finally had their investiture ceremony.  Our troop got a late start in November, so it took a while to put everything together.


Jamison was excited to finally get to go to something Girl Scouts related and insisted on wearing her Chip hat to the ceremony.  It was a perfect wardrobe choice as far as she was concerned.




Here is a photo of the girls waiting for us to kick off the ceremony.



As part of the ceremony, the girls said the Girl Scout Law.


Here is a picture of Jessica getting pinned.


And a quick picture with her troop leader also known as mom.


And a quick picture of the whole troop after the ceremony and before they dove into the celebration cake.


photo booth fun at Severin's birthday party

Jessica and Jamison were excited to go to their friend Severin's birthday party back in February.  They loved the photo booth that was setup at the party and goofing around with friends was a fun way to spend a rainy morning.

  


Jamison did not want to be left out of the fun!



The older girls were pretty nice to let Jamison photo bomb them yet again.



Jim also got this cute pic of Jamison being her usual Ariel self.









Star Wars Birthday Party at the Museum

Jim and Jessica went to the Star Wars exhibit at the local museum to celebrate Roy's 7th birthday a few months ago.


Here are some photos that were taken at the exhibit.




Olivia's 7th birthday party

Jessica enjoyed ice skating with her friends at Olivia's 7th birthday party. Here she was during a quick food break.



Here are the girls celebrating with cake.
