March 2008 - San Diego/Easter
Vroom, vroom! All aboard Uncle Jon’s beamer with Mikayla and the twins.
We attended U.C. Berkeley’s “Eggster” egghunt. Bella got the hang of it pretty quickly, stuffing her basket full of eggs. Look at that concentration!
The Berkeley fire department came by for a visit, then it was back to Round 4 of the egghunt! It was an egg-cellent opportunity to teach her about not hoarding and taking eggs from other children! The taiko drummers were warming up behind her. It was a beautiful day for a very fun event!
We spent a couple of days in San Diego and and visited Legoland.
Everything there was made with Lego.
It was pretty cool.
Bella was too little to ride most of the rides, but she could ride the boat and the train…
…and there was a munchkin area with slides and, of course, Lego. Bella likes to wear her cap in this manner. (She puts it on herself.) I’m not sure if it’s due to the functionality of avoiding to see from under the bill or the fashion sense of a transplanted Oaktown girl.
“Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you’re my only hope.”
“And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base…”
“The Force is strong with this one.”
We stayed at the Hotel Solamar near Petco Park. Bella’s in the lobby getting ready to go on safari at the Wild Animal Park.
We saw giraffes and rhinoceros among other animals on our “Safari into Africa.”
We made it home for Easter and our annual homage to Grandpa’s grave. Bella enjoyed stomping on the headstones at the cemetary.
Bella got a great big Easter basket from Aiyi.
Uh-oh! Too much Easter candy? Actually, it was a decayed malformed tooth. Bella got gassed up at the dentist. She did really well, as she clutched her bribe of bubbles and a toy mirror (just like Dr. Gloria’s!). That’s my Little Angel!

Love your pictures. Bella is so cute. Are those really your photos of the giraffe & rhinos? — They are awesome. Any way for me to be automatically notified by email when you’ve updated Bella’s blog? Oh, and you are so funny too!
