Hammond week in review

Children eat up time and energy the same way they eat all food put in front of them.  This is my excuse for not updating the blog with what we've been doing with the Hammonds, something my Mum castigated me for today, so...

San Francisco, pool, eating ice cream every day, Waldon park, the most exciting baseball match I've ever been to, Lindsay Wildlife Museum, more pool, Target (Katharine's favourite), etc.  Evidence below:


Hammonds in the city!


Rebecca enjoys a ride at the Musee Mechanique.


But the most exciting event of the day was getting free cookies being handed out at Pier 39.


Scott's happy.  Look, he's smiling!



Uncle David, prepared as ever, leads his charges out into the Creek.


Family on the move. 


And what better way to spend a day at the park?


Children can be very useful to have around.


The many choices at Gelateria Naia.


Satisfied customers.


Auntie Hannah put her Godson Oliver to work pretty quickly (in exchange for some dollars...)


Friday's lunch.  Just the one loaf today.


Evolution of a predator.


Can we have a pet?


Listening skills.


The happy sisters.


Jacob and his new purchase (it's a fluffy tadpole that you turn inside-out, and it becomes a frog!  Super cool).
