Slappy Get a Taste of San Fran

The afternoon started off with a Japanese lunch in the Castro.
Jess was excited at the thought of fresh-baked cookies for dessert. Who knew "Hot Cookie" - seen in the deep background - would not actually sell cookies but rather, underwear?
Back at the house, the cookie disappointment was forgotten in midst of stripey, little girls.
Yeah, that's how they getcha. It almost makes you forget that they get up 3 times a night (and by they, I mean Maddie - Maya, much like ELF and Smooth Andre, is also a champion sleeper.... at what age does peer pressure actually set in?)Later in the afternoon, we headed up to Kite Hill, Maddie decked out in an outfit that mixed stripes, spots, denim and Mary Jane socks, designed by Dad and Kearsley.Everyone waited in anticipation.For the Blue Angels to go flying overhead for Fleet Week.
Then another walk to the Castro, where Kearsley, after hearing of Jess' disappointing cookie loss, pointed out that eventhough Hot Cookie looked like a lingerie store from the street, it actually sold fresh cookies within. Of course, it seems so obvious now.
Laden down with Vietnamese sandwiches for dinner, Todd and Maya got a work out on the final stretch of the way home. San Francisco is so cool, and that hill is a lot steeper than it looks in this picture.

To make you feel better - Gwen Wren has been sleeping terribly, waking up 5 to 6 times a night! :( Could this be a Page trait?
