Karin's Berkeley, CA Trip

I had such a great time visiting my brother, niece and nephew on my trip to Berkeley this past weekend! We explored the downtown, saw where my brother works as a Math teacher at Berkeley HS, ate yummy pizza and homemade Butternut Squash Thai food, visited the UC--Berkeley Campus, played with toys, read books, watched movies, took lots of walks (even splashed in puddles in the rain), talked about life and politics, and had a really fun time catching up.

Max and Lola played with Rebekah and came to really love her. Rebekah loved all the attention and the great care her counsins showed her when they fed her O's and shared their toys with her.




Rain or shine, Max and Lola know how to have fun! They have lots of energy, are creative, loving, sweet, smart, and so adorably cute! I love them so much and am so happy to be their Aunt Karin.




Max and Lola love to draw, paint and color. They loved having me sit by them so we could draw together. They sent home lots of amazing pictures for me and my kids.







While Lola was at a birthday party, Max got to play with Rebekah exclusive-ly. They played in a little fort they put together and Max did such a great job sharing and keeping Rebekah happy. They became best buddies!



Eatin' pizza is the bomb! Pizza, Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! The Cheese Board was awesome with their one choice of pizza of the day; our day, as is every day, was especially good! Also every Saturday the kids go out for pizza with their dad. Sundays are for Italian gelatto.



Sunday was a very rainy day so we spent most of our time inside. However, we took a little walk...for the kids it was a sprint...out in the rain to enjoy the pure joy of jumping in and running through puddles. The laughter and smiles that came from their enjoyment was priceless.
