Today was Stacy and I's big trip to the City with our friends the Yecks. A whole bunch of incredible people came by to stay with Lindsey and the kids. Lindsey and her 8 year old friend Sadie Parry made up a new cheer / hand shake. It is really cute. I will download the video clip when I can get it. She had one melt down today, but Sierra and nurse Shannon helped keep her together. The nurse, Shannon said Sierra was did an amazing job with her little sister.
Stacy and I and the Yecks took the Caltrain in San Francisco, then walked through AT&T park (that was so cool to walk around on the field) and down Embarcadero Street to Pier 39. We ate oyster sandwiches (well some of us) at the Ferry Building then rented bikes. We rented the 2 seater tandem bikes and rode them to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Stacy wasn't crazy about her view, but I thought it was great. It was so fun trying to figure out how to drive those bikes with Stacy giving commands, working together, and avoiding traffic! There are a lot of fun things to do on bikes in the City. We hope to do it again when Lindsey is out. When Lindsey called us during her melt down wondering where we were and how long before we came back, we were half way across the Bridge on our bikes and had a long way to go to get back. By the time we got back to the hospital, she was back to herself.
Thanks again to Amanda, Shannon, and the families, Parry's, Steven's, Hansen's, Niccum's, and others, who watched our kids and allowed us a change to get out and work on our marriage.
Funny side note, Jeff and I took some 'college style' pictures and sent them to some of our old college buddies. It had been so long since we had called some of our old friends (Red), that she had discontinued the number and someone else had the new number. After we had sent the picture, we received a response back that she appreciated the picture but didn't know who we were. It was pretty funny.

So glad you two got out for a grown up date! I laughed about your comments about the two seater! My husband and I have one and it took awhile to get the routine down. We've done 3 Cycle Oregons on it - including rides UP to the Hells Canyon overlook and UP to Crater Lake. Uphill can certainly test a couple! If you want to re-live your date when you get back to powder, you are welcome to borrow the tandem! :-)
Wow!! What a beautiful day in my old stomping grounds!!!! Lovin' the photos of the two of you. You both are such an inspiration to me..
xxooo
Love your pictures and I bet your college buddies really enjoyed them (the sunset is beautiful!). Looks like yesterday was a great day for a ride across the famous bridge with beautiful weather. Way to go Sierra for being such a positive older sister! Happy that you two took the opportunity to go on a "date" and allowed for so many friends to help out to make it possible!!! Hope your Sunday is a great day! Do the kiddos get tomorrow off? Love and miss you guys....loves, hugs, and many prayers xoxoxoxo
That looks like an absolutely wonderful day!! I'm so glad you were able to do that! It was a great day for Powder Valley, too. We could feel you cheering from here!
Aw yeah, the Bings & Yecks together again! You all look great! Glad you could all get together and spend some time together.
Stacy, with as little sunshine as you are getting, you still don't look like a part of Team Edward! And Jason, Nick and I thought that since you aren't trimming your furry friend, maybe you could get some just for men in the right color. It might help:)
