The other day we decided to take a walk around the lake. We had loose plans and enjoyed a slow pace.

Emma was hungry as soon as we left the house. Luckily she found a bag of dried fruit in the stroller. Its hard to keep up with this growing kid!

Snow Geese, like the fellows with their popsicle carts, are never too far away when you visit Lake Merritt.

I like to think that this is what one sees when they look through. Emma is short so she only sees the sky.

We stopped at a thrift store and bought Em a dress and me pants and a wool coat (that I tried to hand wash—story for another day). Also shopped at Lucky’s for lunch and more yeast packets to make bread!

Our picnic consisted of almond butter, rice cakes and carrots. Yum!
