Our second day in town started with Chris picking up his daughter Aya and us all going to a massive vegan breakfast which wrecked my stomach for a good 5 hours. Big breakfasts are not good in my book, they just make me tired for the rest of the day. Anyway, we started by going to the carousel at Golden Gate Park and then just hanging out people watching there for a good part of the afternoon. The place was a full on hippie fest complete with drum circles, people playing with those silly sticks, and a full on contact high if you got too close to any of it. I will say now that it was 1. another amazing day, 2. Aya is the most daredevil fearless little 2 1/2 year old I’ve ever met, 3. SF has a lot of hippies.

More photos after the jump….

Aya was a little bummed about having to get off the carousel horses. They also had carousel pigs, ducks, giraffes, rats, and chickens.

One day I plan on buying my mom a carousel for her yard, or at least one of the horses. Not just a mini one, a full size one. One day.

How many balloons would it take to lift a child up. More than 3, we tested it.

Aya and Papa Chris.





It was hilarious watching the other parent’s faces everytime Chris would throw Aya 5 feet into the air and catch her while she’s cracking up laughing wanting to do it over and over again. Parent’s barely let their kids ride bikes anymore, let alone throw them into the sky, share a skateboard ride with them, or push them higher on the swing than the 10 year olds.



Claire taught Aya how to spit water out of her mouth.



She hasn’t quite figured out how to get the last sip yet using the straw.
