Outdoorsy weekend

Ananya had yet another lovely weekend, taking full advantage of the great weather and the oodles of attention from all of her visitors! On Friday, Anju Mausi came for the second Friday in a row to play with Ananya! Us girls spent the afternoon at Crissy Field, watching all the kites fly, and then went out to a yummy dinner. Ananya has so much fun playing with Anju Mausi and every morning she asks, "Anju Mausi coming?"



Dadi and Dadu came up to spend the night and we spent Saturday wine-tasting in Russian River Valley. It was SO beautiful outside, we were all feeling so relaxed, and Ananya loved spending so much quality afternoon time with her grandparents. She loved singing songs in the car, running around the wineries, and having Dadi and Dadu take her around the wineries to see dogs, trees, birdies and to feed her yummy snacks. Albert, Cheryl, Connor, and Chloe met us for lunch in downtown Healdsburg, which was an added bonus to the trip.







Avva and Thatha spent the night on Saturday and on Sunday, we went to the SF Zoo to meet Bert and Ernie. After spending a 1/2 hour in line to take a photo with Bert and Ernie, Ananya took one look at Ernie and burst into tears and screamed for the duration of the oh-so-brief photo shoot. But you'd never know it, given how she's been talking about how she hugged Ernie (not true) and she said hi to Ernie (not true either!). Thatha and Avva then took Ananya all over the zoo, where she saw peacocks, flamingos, rhinos, lions, giraffes, penguins, and even grizzly bears. Aila, Zayan, and Baby Kenza joined us at the end of lunch, which was so fun, and we went to see the lions and rhinos together.
