Zoë's 4 Year Check-up
It's time for Zoë's 4 year old check-up. Starting off with getting her blood pressure checked.
And here she is all cute and all in her hospital gown. We're re-creating her photo back from when she was only a few years old. So cute!
Poor thing did have to get immunizations today though. So I took her out for ice cream after.

Din Din at Good Ol' House of Shabu Shabu
We're totally in love with the AYCE Shabu Shabu over at House of Shabu Shabu. It's out in Irvine, but definitely always our go-to-spot. It's AYCE and they also have a ton of different sides you can get like simple sushi rolls, edamame, chicken wings, gyoza, fish balls, etc.
And who can resist their savory broths!

Mini Family Vacay - SF 1
Day 2 of our vacay takes place over in San Francisco.
Baby girl woke up nice and refreshed and ready to have fun!
Our first stop, Painted Ladies!
These are beautiful Victorian style houses painted in pretty pastel colors. They were built in the 60's.
We also walked around a bit and saw these awesome paintings along the sidewalk.
Painted Ladies were featured in Full House's opening, which made us also want to hunt down the house they used just as a facade of the TV sitcom's house. Once we found it though, we were quite disappointed because it was under construction and also had a notice to not disrupt the people actually living there. Guess the actual inhabitants were sick of all the noise from us Full House fans.
Check out the actual house! It's the one pictured on the right of the photo. I wanted to crop out all the nasty construction. Hahaha.
Well, so much for that. We wanted Zoë to sit on the steps or something, but too bad. Now off to the Palace of Fine Arts! I was googling and googling for fun places to see around San Fran and stumbled across this spot. It was originally constructed in 1915 as part of the Panama-Pacific Exhibition and was actually supposed to be demolished when the exhibit was over. But because it was loved by so many people, they kept it from being demolished and then, in the 60's it had to be rebuilt because the structure wasn't really built to last long and was crumbling to pieces. Definitely a must see if you're ever in San Fran!
It was pretty cold while we were walking around admiring the structures and they had this huge indoor stage area, which housed a cafe and some huge outdoor community games. Zoë and J hung out there for awhile to warm up since I wanted to walk around the whole structure some more. When I reached the other side of the lagoon though, I felt it was a little bit warmer with the sun directly on me. So I called them up to meet me for a photo op from the other side.
Then, on the way back Zoë wanted to go back into the stage area and play some more. That's when I got to admire this statue, which was part of the original construction back in 1906.
Zoë then dragged over to play some games! We decided on Jenga and the whole stack was way taller than Zoë. Hahaha. It was a ton of fun though and she beat me!
By the time we finished all the fun, we were all famished. Jeric found this spot Called Koja Kitchen. He ordered a Koja burger and I ordered a the short rib bowl and then we also got ourselves umami fries.
Zoë ate a bit of everything and I was surprised at how much meat she at off of my short rib bowl!
Here's the cutie after we had lunch. She wanted to snap a photo with their snowman.
Once we were all fed, it was time for dessert! Liz, Marky, Denise, Ray and John were grabbing ice cream at Bi-Rite while we were having lunch, so we headed over there right after. They were already hanging at Dolores Park when we got there. So we went ahead and ordered ourselves some ice cream!
Zoë and Dada enjoyed their ice cream sundae together. So cute!
After hanging out with everyone at the park, it started getting unbelievably cold. They all had to get ready for drinking too, so they wanted to head back to their hotel to rest up before they go out. Since we were with Zoë we decided to just head back to our hotel in San Jose. When we got back Zoë had a fun time in the bath tub. We got her bubble bath! And that was our fun day in SF! Just one more fun day left!

Still Feels Like Summer!
Yup, it's still hot as ever. We've had temps in the 80's recently. I honestly thought we were done with those high temps, but apparently not. Oh well, how do you handle? Ice Cream of course!
We had delicious soft serve and Italian ice over at Joe Latti's and Zoë loved it!

DinDin with My Loves
We were pretty starving by the time we all got home tonight and were thinking of what we can eat that wouldn't be horribly fatty.... Souplantation!
Even the Zoë loves this place... she couldn't help herself and dug into Dada's plate.
Dada and Zoë enjoying all the deliciousness.
And, can't forget that ice cream!

Heart Shaped Ice Cream Sandwiches
Totally wanted to surprise Jeric with some Heart Shaped Ice Cream Sandwiches today. They turned out aite.
I just took Nestle Cookie Dough and tried to roll it out as flat as I could and then ended up using a Playdoh Heart Cutter to cut out hearts. At this point, you're supposed to freeze the cookie dough for about 10 minutes prior to baking. This firms up the dough to keep it from becoming a buncha blobs. Sadly, no room in the freezer or even the fridge. So, yah, some of them came out into blobs.
None-the-less, I was able to find a few good pieces to make my cookies.
For the ice cream, you would take your fav flavor of ice cream and scoop it out into backing pans and flatten it all out. Then, refreeze it. When cookies are cool enough, use the same cookie cutter to cut out the same shapes!
Then, place it onto the cookie!
Tada!
Also, the cookies were overcooked. But that's because, against my better judgement, I left them in there for a few minutes too long.
Still, he liked the cookie sammich! Yummy!
