Fun in the Fall

It was a busy fall with lots of activities around the bay area

Halloween 2018

(Note this is the 4th time that train conductor costume has been used by us and we got it secondhand; meanwhile, Milan's snake costume fell apart mid-way through Halloween festivities)

What, me worry?

A joint magnatiles creation

We had a fun diwali party with made to order dosa and lots of guests (though no photos of the guests)

Playing in the sand and watching the sunset at Poplar Beach

Milan ice skated for the first time and was a pro by the end of the night

Attending our first Stanford men's basketball game (they won!)

Photos from a photo shoot with one of Milan's former preschool teachers

Next stop:  cruising to Mexico and Vancouver!

Happy holidays!

Summer Roundup

Between all of the birthday posts, we were enjoying the dog days of summer

First, we took a trip to DC that involved family time, conferences and sightseeing.  Milan and mom went first and spent a day at the air and space museum and seeing the sights.

 Dad and Kirin came next and we enjoyed some quality cousin time

We even got the whole Goda family together one evening

Kirin got to see some sights too at the museum of natural history via metro

Milan tested his hand at spoons and enjoyed every minute with family from up and down the east coast

 We came back and did a joint birthday celebration where a kid can be a kid

And then spent the day before school started at Gilroy Gardens for one last hurrah

Milan on his first day of first grade!

Kirin moved up a room in daycare too and is learning some new skills

 School may have started but there was still fun to be had!  We enjoyed labor day weekend with a ferry ride to Alameda and some frolicking on the beach in Pacifica

Kirin is enjoying some figs right off the tree

Happening upon a splash pad in San Carlos

Kirin perfecting his :man-shrugging: face

And the first official weekend of fall was spent seeing the sea lions at fisherman's wharf, snoozing in the stroller, and drinking out of toilets at the exploratorium
