Check out the cool slides at this park. They were made of cement and built into the hill. The kids were finding pieces of cardboard to sit on that would make them slide super fast.
Here comes Cole!

After playing at the park for a few hours and grabbing some lunch, we headed down to Fisherman's Wharf and to check into our hotel. By that time, the temperature started dropping, so we bundled up, walked around the pier and enjoyed the crazy people that SF always has to offer.

We had a nice dinner at the wharf and then headed back to the hotel. Since Jim travels so much he is supposed to get automatic upgrades at the hotels if they are available. Well when we checked in they wouldn't give us the suite and told us they needed to keep it available, but since we didn't get back until 8:00 that night, I though it didn't hurt to ask again and sure enough, they said we could have it. Whooo hooo! We were just staying at the Marriott Courtyard, so it wasn't so much this amazing "suite" as it is 2 rooms!!! For those of you who travel alot with kids, you know the value in having 2 separate sleeping spaces. I was so glad because Olivia is the lightest sleeper and wakes up at every little thing. Not to mention, she goes down at 8:00, which makes for an early night for the rest of. So anyways, while Jim worked on moving all of our luggage, I ran to the new room and threw the kids in the tub. They were happily playing with the new sand toys we bought them, when all of a sudden, I look down and see 3 pieces of poop! I couldn't believe it and totally started screaming (most of you that know me, know that I tend to over react to pretty much everything). Cole takes one look and sees me screaming and jumps out of the tub with the scariest look on his face, while poor Olivia just stands there and starts crying. In my 3 1/2 years of bathing kids, they have never done this to me (and it was Olivia!!). Meanwhile, Jim walks in the room from getting the luggage and hears me screaming and comes running. However, once he realizes why I'm screaming, he starts saying "Gross, gross!". Turns around and walks out. Thanks alot honey!!! So after a little cleaning out of the tub and rinsing the kids off, we survived our little ordeal.
Olivia actually slept like an angel- either that, or she was too far away for us to hear her crying and we all happily woke up at 7:30 am. Not bad for vacation, right!
Unfortunately, we woke up to rain and lots of it. So much for our beach day with the new toys. We called Jim's friend Angie and she met up with us and her adorable 11 month old baby, Lucy, for breakfast at this supper yummy place called the "The Grove." I definitely recommend checking it out if you are ever there. We split the french toast and breakfast burrito and it was delicious! After breakfast, we headed back over to Angie's place to check out how the city folk live :-) We stayed there for a few hours and got to see her husbands photo studio, which was also very cool.
All in all, a great little break from the everyday life here in Rocklin!
