Presidio Batteries

We took the kids out to the Presidio to let them climb in and out of the historic Batteries located on the west side. These old forts and gunneries are perfect for little ones to run off excess energy. Of course, typically SF weather in July, it was freezing cold, windy and the fog was rolling in...but we made the best of it and had a great time exploring.

Checking out where the canons used to be...so cool!

Cameron was the brave one, climbing all the way to the top...just to check out the view...



We did a little hiking around the area. The twins remind me of the tortoise and the hare...Timo is the hare, running as fast as he could, exhausting all of his energy and then needed to be carried the rest of the way. Cameron, our little tortoise, walked the same pace through out the hike, keeping up the whole time but never seeming to tire out.


Pizza has become the kids new favorite food. Timo asks for it almost every day. We treated them to a some pizza and then frozen yogurt afterwards..but all they wanted were the tiny M&M toppings! (Cameron refused to take off her hat the whole time!)


We got into an extra long version of "Old McDonald Had a Farm" on the way home (who knew camels lived on a farm and what sound do they make???) the kids were having so much fun that when we pulled in the driveway they both started screaming "no home, no home." So Daddy pulled back out and we kept driving around another 20min or so singing until I could convince them that bath time was gonna be even more fun than the car ride! I think that's a good sign of a great day!
