CA Academy of Sciences

Thursday we went up to San Francisco with Cousin Pete (a cute 21 year old kid from Idaho who is staying with my parents this week looking for an internship in the area) and Kelly Spiller (our friend who used to live at Jannie's house too when she was getting treatment at Packard). Jannie has fun friends who frequent the guest rooms! We were going to drop Pete off to explore while we went to tea but we got up there early enough we all went to the California Academy of Sciences first- it was pretty cool.

Kelly had been here before for a school project so she knew all the good spots... showing Francie the famous albino alligator

Jannie and Maisie Moo (always trying to unsuccessfully pry that binky out)

heading out

for TEA at Lovejoys! (Coogan/Kane girls... sorry we "cheated on you")

Francie snoozed through the first half of lunch so Maisie kept us entertained

but Francie woke right up when she heard there was "warm chocolate and whipped cream" waiting

and to pick a Petit Four

Laughing at Lovejoy's

"Ok let me up"

Deeee lish.
