Baby Noah comes to play!

For weeks now, my kids have been really excited to see "Baby Noah" and his parents of course! Noah is actually 1 year old and not quite a teeny baby anymore, but I guess all kids are considered babies to Reagan and Nolan? Anyways, we had a great time! We went to the city and toured Alcatraz.

Matt took the kids in on the train and met us at the pier. The entire day Nolan kept exclaiming "choo-choo....BOAT!" He was pretty jazzed about taking the boat over to the island and now has a sort of new obsession. Here is a view of the San Francisco from Alcatraz.

Our family posing for a very windy shot! (You would think that after experiencing chilly wind like this Nolan would want to wear his jacket...but nope!)
Cool eagle outside of the jail.
This was the dining hall in Alcatraz. Matt thought the saying was something I would like, "Take all you want, but eat all you take." In other words, don't waste food! That one was for my kids...
We especially enjoyed the audio tour this time around. Matt and I saw a documentary on the 3 escaped convicts that were never found and it was cool to see in detail exactly how they escaped. We saw the vent through which they crawled (tiny, they must have weighed 70 pounds?) And the venting system behind the walls where they slipped out. The big question remains...did they make it or did they die in the bay? You decide!
The rest of our week was a lot of fun, hanging out with the Moog's! Thanks for coming to visit us, we had a blast and can't wait to see you guys again :):)
