San Fransisco - Family day!

Ryan's Mom and Dale, my parents, and Ryan's brother Andy and his wife Megan met us in San Fransisco for Ryan's graduation. We all arrived Friday night and were able to spend the entire day together on Saturday. It was a perfect family day!

                                                            The view from our room

The first night Ryan took Brinley and Casen to a baseball game while I stayed back with Marlee who was over tired and not feeling well. Casen was excited to get to bat. Brinley was too tall, such a change from theme parks!

                                                         Enjoying the game with Daddy!

We did the tour and all listened to the storied with head sets. It was pretty fascinating. Pretty amazing escape attempts, some which resulted in in-house gun shooting and bombs, lots of which included fake heads/faces in their bed so they would have more time to get out and only a few that actually escaped. 

Casen inside one of the cells, to be honest he was a little hesitant to go in there and ran out as soon as I took the picture... hopefully he is always that scared of jail :)

                                        What a jail cell would have looked like while in use.

                                  The whole gang with a view of San Fran in the background.

Brinley and Casen looking at this small area that was between the rows of cells. It contained pipes and electrical stuff, but was interesting because 5 men climbed up the center and escaped!

                                                I need one of these signs for my house!!! :)

Brinley and Grandpa... she was able to sneak in sometime while Marlee wasn't stealing him away :)

                                           Part of the offices/workers quarters for Alcatraz.

    A view of Alcatraz. It really was a beautiful island, but freezing!

                                                           Ferry ride to Angel Island

                                                                  Playing with Papa!

           Family shots in front of the city and the Golden Gate Bridge. Great views from Angel Island!

The way back was super windy and there were bug white caps, Brinley and Grandpa braved the waves together!

                                                        All worn out from a long day!

                                          Yay for "Papa!" Much less carrying on my part :)

This picture is like a dream come true for Marlee. She LOVES all of her grandparents! She calls all of them "Papa" and she has a grandma and grandpa song she sings overs and over and all it says is "Papas and papas!"  Having all 4 together was a special treat!

Casen has a little crush on his Aunt Megan. He leaned over to me and asked if he could give her a kiss on the cheek and was pretty happy when he got the go ahead :)

There was a Red Bull competition and it was all Casen could talk about while we were doing our tours. Fortunately he got there just in time to see the last 20 minutes.

Marlee learned how to do puzzles on the ipad all by herself. Pretty proud :)

The big water statue by the pier! We all had fun running through it, but Marlee didn't want to stop and take a picture :)

We got some DELICIOUS juicy peaches from the farmers market. We each got one, and Marlee got 4... she just couldn't help herslef!

We walked most places and it was nice to have everyone there with the kids and fun for them :)
