Memorial Day Fun

We met some dear dear friends at Tilden Park in Berkeley yesterday for a family outing and some fun in the sun. It was so beautiful, and the weather was perfect - not too hot, and not too cool. Very cool to be back at our old haunt :-).

Although Dave and I both are Cal alumni (Go, Bears!), we did not ever go to this part of Tilden Park. We got to go to the Little Farm and feed the animals.





Go on the carousel. . .


Have a picnic lunch with a simple birthday cake for my soon to be 3 year old little love. Oh, just look at the expression on his face! Can you tell that he loves birthdays?


And we also got to ride on the steam train! This was awesome. Only $2 per person for a 10 minute ride through the redwood forest of the Berkeley hills. So beautiful! Matthew was cold in the shade and was lent a Pablo Sandoval Kung-Fu Panda hat by our ardent Giants' fan friends. We weren't sure if we could stomach it, having Dodger blue blood in our veins, but felt it was permissable to keep Matthew a little warmer.
