City Mouse - Gymnastics

Country Mouse has really thrown down the gauntlet lately! I have to stop forgetting to bring my camera with me. How can I be in California and no beach pictures?? I'll hopefully rectify that before the summer is out.

Liv has always wanted to learn how to do a cartwheel, so this summer I signed her up for gymnastics at a club about 5 minutes down the road from us.


She'd been to one or two classes back in Virginia, but that facility was nothing like the one she goes to now. I imagine Olympians could train at this place. I should have taken a pic of all the trophies on the walls.


Although Liv won't be an olympian, (she still can't do a cartwheel), she's having a great time and learning a lot.

City Mouse - Front Yard

Gardening services are extremely common here. I don't think anyone on my block mows their own yard. I certainly didn't trim our shrubs into these crazy alien space-shapes.
I know renters can't be choosers, but I wish our landlords were more into something with flowers! I've walked straight into one of these shrub-nubbins with my face - ouch!

City Mouse - Go Cars

We took the kids to meet some friends for a picnic in Golden Gate Park today and then drove around San Francisco for a while.

These little yellow cars were everywhere. They fit 2 people and have a GPS system which tells the pre-recorded tour what to tell you about while you drive.

I am the city mouse.
