Sunday Fun

So this weekend has just been packed with taking advantage of fun stuff this city has to offer and Sunday (today) was no exception.  This morning we went to the 9am service at North Way Oakland.  Then we headed on from there to Mellon Park with Aunt Megan, Uncle Nate and their boys for "Bach, Beethoven and Brunch."  This is a fantastic, simple cultural event offered every Sunday throughout the summer.  Today was the West Hills Symphonic Band.  It was fantastic.  Classic band music (Daddy, it brought me back to the days of the Hopkinton Band).  The boys enjoyed it, but moreso they liked hunting for sticks beneath the shade of the trees and eating their picnic.  Here are all the boys as Megan and I were trying to get a picture.  I was just happy that everyone is looking my way (some of the faces and looks are comical though).

The music was winding down and the kids were getting restless (namely Koen was being a terrible listener and Tav was getting whiney), so we headed across the street to the other side of Mellon Park where there is a new spray park and a great playground.  We continued our fun hangout there (well, again, Koen was intense on the playground as that same kid from a few weeks ago happened to be there...what are the odds!  Cut me a break!).  They did pretty well, but Penn was so happy.  Next time I'm bringing his swimsuit.  He loved putting his arm out into the sprinkler.  So cute.  

Penn is such a trooper just hanging out as his big brothers get to take real advantage of these types of outings.  

Well, it was a fun way to spend the morning.  Thanks to Nate and Megan for hanging with us.  It's so nice to have the company on Sundays.
