Pier 33

K's second cousins, Julia and Nicolas come back to the Bay Area every summer for a month from Japan. We all got together last weekend to eat brunch at Butterfly at Pier 33. Nicholas grew his hair out. He said it's the style in Japan for boys to have long hair

During lunch Nicholas thought it would be funny to put his hat on K while she was coloring.

The two tables were divided amongst the adult's side and the kid's side.

K looked over the menu with Po Po to decide what she wanted to eat for dessert.

She decided on lychee shaved ice with almond tofu and fruit which she shared with Po Po and Aunt Vandy. She also got to try wagyu beef at lunch.

After lunch the cousins took K for a walk around the pier. They walked hand in hand.

 Nicholas brought his skateboard and wanted K to try standing on it. This proved to be a little dangerous.

So the cousins instead gave K a lift by holding her.

K was pretty tired after all the fun she had at the pier. She took a nap in the car. To kill some time before dinner in the city, K headed to the Academy of Science. Mommy also wanted to get her money's worth since she bought a pass to the Academy last August.  The lines were not extremely long, so K ventured into the rainforest. She saw huge butterflies. Can you see the butterfly flying by Daddy's chest area? 

 A new exhibit we saw was baby ostrichs that were 19 weeks old.

Anytime there were a flight of stairs, K wanted to walk up like a big girl.

On the living roof, a nice bystander asked if we wanted a family picture.

On Saturday, K had a play date at Tristan's house. Court and Emi were there too. Here's a picture courtesy of Auntie Lauren's camera.

While the kids played together, K was more interested in hanging out with Uncle Joe as you can see from this video. When it was time to leave, Mommy had to pry K out of Uncle Joe's arms.  She didn't want to go. She just had way too much fun! Auntie Lauren joked and said no woman has loved Uncle Joe that way before.
