After a fun week in Los Angeles, we went up to San Francisco to spend time with the Masons.

Hannah loves to snuggle with Grandpa Ron--which is amazing since she won't sunggle with anyone else (including her mommy!)

Sarah and John Gregory on the trampoline.

Hannah likes to lounge in her stroller.

Hannah loves kitties! This once came to visit her.




Happy Hallow

Happy Hallow is a place where Dan went when he was little. They have a little zoo, and an amusement park for kids. We had so much fun.

Hannah loved to chase and pet the goats at the little Happy Hallow zoo.

Hannah got to ride "Danny Dragon" that Dan rode as a little boy. Ahhh, memories.

Hannah got to ride the snail on the carousel.

This is probably my favorite picture of Hannah. Thanks Cheryl for taking such a great picture!

I went to give Hannah a kiss, but she was faster and got me first.

Oakland Zoo

Hannah loves animals and so we took her to the zoo.

Hannah pet the little baby goat.

We rode the little train.

Rinconada Park

This park also had a little museum and zoo. Hannah had a great time discovering all the neat new things.

Hannah climed the steps, but was still too short. She really wanted to see what was going on.

Once she could see, Hannah loved watching the washers go around this big green funnel.

After watching for a while, she decided to give it a try. She sure is smart! She put the washer in the right place and got to watch it roll all the way down the funnel.

They had a little kitchen and Hannah liked playing with the tupperware.



Hannah and Daddy go down the slide.

Hannah loves to swing.

Hannah learned how to ride this motorbike--can you tell she's bouncing?







Chilrens Museum

At this museum they had a little water works section. Have we mentioned that Hannah loves water? She had a blast.





Dan is blowing a giant bubble for Hannah

These balls are suspended in the air through the magic of science.

What's going on? How does this work? Who's holding the ball?


Cement Slide Park

I don't know the real name of this park, but it has a giant slide made of cement.

Dan and I went down the slide. The trick is to sit on cardboard--then you go superfast!

Hannah and Grandma go down the slide.

Hannah and Grandma play in the sand.

Hannah loved to feel the sand in her toes.

Our little family at the park.

This is my favorite smile, we call it the scrunchi smile.

A Day at the Beach

We took Hannah to the beach again and she had a great time. This is one fearless girl! She loved the waves even though the water was a tad chilly.

Hannah and Daddy

Amazingly she didn't eat the sand at the beach.







She really is fearless. She ran towards the water and didn't mind the waves at all.

Dan and I got to go to the BYU/UCLA game! We had a lot of fun even though they lost.


Hannah had her first corn on the cob.

It was a little bit slippery, so she put it on the tray and chowed down.

Aquariums and Aviaries

This is my favorite fish. Dan and I first met him a few years ago when we went to the aquarium together. I'm pretty sure he missed me, because he kept swimming by to say hello.

He's bigger than Hannah!

The seals kept swimming by Hannah to give her a little show.

They had some pools where you can touch sharks and rays. Sadly, this shark was too big to pet.

They had an aviary at the aquarium, too.

Hannah loves birdies...as long as they are stuffed.






This bird, named Lilly, really liked Hannah.


Lilly really liked Hannah's bow. Pink is the one color she doesn't have.

Like I said, she really liked Hannah.

Where Dreams Come True

While visiting my family in Los Angeles, we took Hannah to Disneyland. Turns out it really is the happiest place on earth. Thanks for the fun time Conley's!
This was Hannah's first carousel ride in California Adventure.
It was a little warm and Hannah just can't resist water, so she dipped her little toes in the fountain...

...and then she dipped her head in.

Hannah was not sure what to think of the junge cruise at first

but then she got the idea and had a blast.

Our little "tinkerbell" was excited to ride Peter Pan.

So was Uncle Jereme

Hannah and Nana ride the carousel

Have you seen an elephant fly? Hannah has. The magic feather (what she's eating) is the key.

Its a small, small world, and yet there's so much to see!
