Fun with the Mantha's

My good friend Tina from high school lives in Pleasanton and it was a very fun treat to spend so much time with her and her daughter Ashley! Tina knows all of the local activities for toddlers and we got to participate in many of them.

Music Class
Tina and her daughter go to music class every week, so Adelynn, my mom and I tagged along to check it out. We had a blast and Adelynn loved it! Tina was sweet enough to give us one of the cd's with music from the class, so Adelynn and I are still singing some of the songs! At the bottom is a fun little video clip from class with Addie, Tina, and Ashley in it.

Oakland Zoo
It was fun to explore another zoo. They had a great petting zoo area with goats and sheep.

I thought this turtle was so cool! It looked like he was trying to climb out!

Lunch and Pedicures
It was awesome to leave the girls and go to lunch just the two of us and have some adult conversation. Then we got very fun relaxing pedicures! Definitely a fun girly excursion!

Special Date
One day Tina took Adelynn on a special date. Addie came home with some candy for Mommy and Grammy too!


4th of July Park & BBQ
We headed to the park with the Mantha's on the fourth of July and then later that night had a yummy BBQ at their house. Adelynn had a little trouble falling asleep at their house, so we headed back to my mom's to lay her down so she could get a good night sleep for Kearsten's wedding, which was the next day! Next time we will definitely play Quiddler Srikant!

As a side note, I just wanted to say thanks to Tina for how much she loves and takes care of my mom. Tina took shifts at the hospital, switching with Laura to hang out with my mom after her surgery and make sure she was well taken care of. She also brought her a milkshake and other treats! Tina, thanks for loving our family in such a practical way.
