Berkeley Afternoon

We recently spent a lovely afternoon out at Berkeley.  We took Norman to see the Lawrence Hall of Science.  Everyone knows dogs love Science.

And views. At least, Norman loves views. Or maybe that's Eddy who loves views.

We hung out at campus a bit.

And by "hung out" I mostly mean "stuck our heads through bridges."

You know, to stare at squirrels and stuff.

Giraffes Heart Crackers

Recently I had a chance to visit the Dickerson Park Zoo with my mom.  It had been years since I had visited that zoo and it was amazing to see how much had changed (and how much hadn't!)  We saw some muggle animals

and some magical animals.

We tried on masks at the gift store (of course!)

But the best part ever was feeding the giraffes. Giraffes heart crackers.

Apparently very much.

Portrait of a Stewart as a Pillow

Mom's dog Stewart is kind of an adorable clown.

She therefore likes to collect things with Stewarts on them. Like, lots of things. She recently bought this cute fabric to make some pillows for a new couch.

I thought she might like (yet another!) Stewie to go with it.

Stewart Gilligan!  (Yep, Stewart Gilligan...)

It's a real big pillow...

Tree Beach

Norman loves to go to the beach.

He gets to hang around outside and be way more dirty and crazy than we allow him to be indoors. The beach is a wee bit far, though, so when we are all craving a picnic lunch and some fresh air we head out to the tree beach (otherwise known as the park).

Everybody gets to stretch out in the shade and snooze.

It's basically the best way to spend a lazy weekend day. Especially because I'm pretty sure unpleasant weather is not allowed here.
