Potrero Hill Festival!

We love living on Potrero Hill. From its great views, to its history, to its status as San Francisco's best neighborhood/best-kept secret, it's been a great place for the twins to grow up. And Saturday might have been the greatest day yet for our two little hill dwellers as they celebrated at the annual Potrero Hill Festival. Where to begin. Where to begin...

The first stop was the open house as SFFD Station 37, right around the corner from our house. Brett sat in a fire truck and sounded the bell while Maggie posed with Daddy inside the house. Thanks to Fireman Mike for the tour and the great hats!



Next we headed down to 20th Street for the Festival. Brett stopped to talk shop with a local policeman:
Then it was off to the petting zoo! There was a Llama, a turkey, bunnies, a turtle, sheep and even a pig. Maggie liked the animals, but chose to keep them at arms length. "Too scary," she said.




After the petting zoo we got even closer to the animals with pony ride!


The food at the festival was excellent. Here are Mommy and Maggie enjoying a hot dog and a pork belly taco.

Any doubt that Brett is a big man was erased when he ventured into the bouncy house with the big kids. This photo is a little out of focus because it was impossible to snap a good picture of Bouncy Bretty as he hopped around.

After all the fun, it was time to make the long walk back up hill to home.

Two Years Old!!

Brett and Maggie turned 2 last week!! We had a fun celebration over the weekend. Grandma, Papa, DeeDee and RyRy were in town, and we went to "big park" (Golden Gate) and met Jennie and Brandon, then had a fun dinner at Pauline's Pizza with Gianna. Mommy made a special Mickey and Minnie birthday cake, and Brett and Maggie liked licking chocolate off their feet!
