    Sorry I had to leave you as soon as I did, but it was more than worth it to see my daughter after much time. She lives at the top of an apartment that is right below Coit Tower. One flight of stairs leads to the roof and they've decked it out with lounge and patio chairs, tables and a BBQ. It looks like something out of a movie, and the views from there are incredible!

    It kind of reminds me of the movie.

    10pm Boise time. I had such a great time. Also wanted to add what a pleasure it was to meet everyone! My dad also enjoyed taking with you all also, My friend said that you all were the nicest axe murders she has ever met and now really wants to go to Disneyland for her 1st time very soon.

    A big thanks to the Baloo's for giving me a year suppy of Curly Wurlys and to U K Fan--- thanks for the mix, I am in chocolate heaven.

    I have some new favorite memories that were made on this trip

    1. Mikey not wanting to get in Hollys stroller (buggy) because it had pink on it.

    2. Mikey giving a VERY good reason on why he did not want to be on his dad's shoulders anymore.

    3. At the aquarium Andrew was beyond giddy when he was able to touch a shark.

    4. Holly found Nemo!

    5. The look on my friends face when I ordered the volcano at the Rainforest Cafe

    6. Visiting with my extended LP family.

    This meet really started for us when a goofy guy and JazzCat showed up at our house on Saturday evening. I had met them but Mrsally had not. It did not take long to tell that we would all be friends. Especially when we sat down to dinner and found out that AGG plays pinocle. (So does Jazzy but not as passionately I guess.) We are passionate about pinocle, as is our son who does not get a lot of opportunities to play. Right after dinner we sat down to three games even though they had been driving all day.
    Next morning Shiva and Tinkeroon joined us for brunch at our house and we found we may be dealing with a 3rd set of clones.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4602440773/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide
    show/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4602440773/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744</a>

    After clones#1 left it lead to three more games of pinocle then a trip to town, a bit of shopping and a visit to check the remodeling progress on the Shiva’s condo. We came back to our house and fit in a game of Guillotine before meeting Shiva and Tinkeroon for dinner. Back home to finish our game and get our house guests to bed before they fell asleep standing up as the big day was still to come.
    We were up before 6:30AM and off to pick up the other two quarters (two sixths??!!!??) Even though our back seat is a bit cramped for adults; I am glad we all drove to the City together. We had virtually no traffic and the constant chatter made the trip just whiz by.
    I think it a stroke of good fortune that after we reached the fountain at Ghirradelli I decided to go back to the car for the token I had brought for the Baloos. When I came around my car I saw a man, woman and two children who looked a bit lost and was pretty sure who they were. (The LP buttons helped.) So we all went up the lift to meet up with what turned out to be 19 of us.

    I echo everyone else’s sentiments in regard to how nice it was to meet more LPers. Putting faces to names is always fun. It was decided to hop a cable car and I was very excited as I had not done this for many years. I was even more excited when I found I would be allowed to ride hanging on to the outside.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601870119/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide

    The stop at the Disney Store was a riot. I mean, these great folks visit from the UK and are on their way to Disneyland and we go to the Disney Store. But there was a great sale going on and I think just about everyone bought something. We had hoped to see Rivkah86 but she was not working.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601874361/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide

    Then we were off for lunch:
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601869765/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide
    show/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601869765/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744</a>

    Lunch was much fun (except for the rude waiter.) I chose to sit with someone other than that guy with whom I take almost every meal. Here I have to say, I almost changed my mind cuz all the young children were sitting at that table. I have raised my kids and sometimes do not like to be around noisy brats. WELL, let me say, there were NO noisy brats with us. These LP parents have reared some wonderful, well behaved children. And the Baloo babies had jet lag. They were all just such a delight.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601888016/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide

    After lunch I kind of thought everyone was going to want to go to China Town but when Dave said he really wanted to go to the Museum Macanique I was thrilled. It is one of my favorite places and I had not been to it since it moved to the Wharf. What a blast and made even more fun by the looks on the children’s faces.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601888016/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide
    show/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601888016/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744</a>

    Then MrBaloo suggested a quiet sit down and drink and we went to Ghiradelli (which is where our car was) and had ice cream and cocoa etc. Wonderful way to end the day with good friends and even better conversation.
    <a href="http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=210628995/PictureID=4601903769/a=79203744_79203744/t_=79203744" target="_blank">http://www2.snapfish.com/slide

    Then to top it all off, as we were heading out of town we passed the Baloo’s hotel and there they were, getting off a cable car! ! ! I guess we just needed one more small dose. What a great day =oO
