San Francisco Trip

It is almost time for Emmy to go back to school and Spencer too. We have been working hard on Dr. appointments and running the house, so we thought a ride to the beach would be great and it was! Stinson beach has such beautiful trees on the way there. The eucalyptus trees and other pine trees mixed with the ocean air make a wonderful smell. Spence did better to stay at the beach a little longer this time than last we came. He and Emmy are buddies. He listens to her and is able to wait a little longer for less preferred activities if she is around giving him attention. After the beach we crossed the Golden Gate bridge and made our way to the Golden gate park. We had a picnic on the grass right outside the botanical garden and Japanese Tea garden. The weather was beautiful and the trees and plants were lush and around us. Even the weeds had daisy looking flowers in the grass nearby. Spence came out of the van for a few minutes to walk and see what was going on. He was kind and gentle and we didn't push him too much. It was a short time, but successful. Emmy drove us a lot of the way home and we home in time for Celia's new tutor (lyric) to come over.
