The Rocks

Serafina was part of the cast of a Cal Poly student film entitled "The Rocks." Today was the first day of filming (there may be another filming day). They did Serafina's shots first and we were outta there in 40 minutes! She played "The Child." They shot the film at the top of Terrace Hill in SLO (not far from French Hospital). We'd never been up there before, quite the views all around. We'll let you know if the film ever becomes publicly viewable.

Quick "Am-Trip"

We took advantage of some leftover tickets to enjoy a Grover-SLO-Grover Surfliner trip with some of the kids, including a walk down to Mitchell Park in SLO. All the pics are here. P.S. It was the first weekend the Surfliner Cafe was carrying Stone's new IPA: Tangerine Express. Life is grand.

Christmas at the Atascadero Zoo

Despite the temps at 30 or below, we thoroughly enjoyed a little adventure to the Atascadero Zoo to see the animals receive their Christmas presents. And the visit to Denny's following was pretty fun as well. Judy wasn't there, but they did have chocolate milk! All the pics are here.

Gingerbread Houses

Our wonderful babysitter organized this activity. You can tell whose is whose if you think about the ages and personalities... They fit!

Cosmic Chorus

Singing a Christmas song for Grace5Cities... All the pics are here.

Santa Arrives by Train

We boarded the same Amtrak Pacific Surfliner as Santa (and his wife) in Grover Beach and arrived to throngs of people on the platform in SLO. Santa went over to the San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum to greet all the kids from a "throne" on the La Cuesta. The odd pic shows the progress thus far on our Christmas window at home - getting close. All the pics are here.
