We had quite a busy weekend this first weekend in September! We started with Emma getting to get a hot lunch at school on Friday. She was so excited and wanted to me to take a picture of her with her envelope of money.
Look at how tan she is!
Of course, she forgot to take her money to the cafeteria with her.
Then Ray and I went on a search for a new bike. First he was going to refurbish his dad's old bike, but after talking to one of the guys at Sunshine Bike's here in Morgan Hill he realized it would cost as much to fix this bike up as it would to buy a new one. So we went to just about every bike place we could get to before Emma got out of school.
We didn't find anything. So we picked up Emma and headed out to Los Gatos and decided to take Emma to La Fondue in Saratoga. This is probably my favorite restaurant ever. Emma was excited to try the cheese fondue and steak off the grill, but mostly it was just a stop gap to the chocolate.
She was so excited! She barely got any cheese on the bread, but she said it was so delicious. I was too busy eating chocolate to take pictures of her during the dessert course!
Afterwards we headed over to Sports Chalet and Ray found the style of bike he wanted on sale. The only problem was the color. It was blood orange with black accents and it mostly just looked red, but in certain light it did look orange. He bought it, but I could tell he wasn't really super happy about it.
Saturday we headed out to DeAnza College where on the first Saturday of every month they hold a huge flea market in the parking lots. Lots of fun stuff to look at, though we didn't buy too much.
As with all the school around the Bay Area DeAnza's adding the solar parking lot panels which will be awesome next year in adding some shade on the hot days!
I love these china plate wind chimes so much I took two pictures of them.
This would make the cutest cake topper!
After the flea market we headed out to look for some accessories for Ray's bike and then headed out to my parents' house to celebrate my Auntie Marilyn & Auntie Terrie's birthdays.
You can't see it so well but my mom made the candles from a 'M' and a 'T'.
Course all the kids had to run over to help blow out the candles.
My cousin Austin got some new glasses and I wish I had his dad's senior picture so I could show you how identical their glasses are. I took a picture of him and he said I had to take one of him not smiling because he's pretty sure his dad didn't smile in his picture.
My Mom & Dad went to the Longworth family reunion down in Southern California a couple of weekends ago and our cousin Wally gave me his old Canon Rebel 2000 film SLR. I took a few pictures and I can't wait to finish the roll so I can see how I did!
Wally had a 28-300mm lens and a standard lens. When I was looking at lenses online I discovered that the 50mm lens I've been coveting is much cheaper for this one...*hint, hint* :)
On Sunday we headed over to Sunshine Bikes in Gilroy to see what kind of accessories they had. While there Ray found a bike closer to the one he really wanted.
It's the same bike I have except it's the men's version and matte black. We like Electra bikes.
They're so preeeety.
So now he's a little happier about his bike and we can go on family rides now!
Today we headed over to Valley Fair to use up gift cards that we've had forever. I got these fancy little beauties!
Sally
Jack
And now they're ready for my Jack & Sally shelf! So cute! I love them so!
It was quite the busy weekend, but we survived! This upcoming week is a whole bunch of doctor appointments and all kids of fun stuff.
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!!
