stanford campus

the morning after chief got in, we headed over to campus to pick up his cap & gown & give ourselves a slow tour. go here for a great little tour with the correct names etc :)

i had a little too much fun snapping pictures around this gorgeous university.

we like to blame the chillins but most of the time when our pics don't turn out it's because austin & i are teasing each other.

it was a common, sunny, flawless day in palo alto.

 ...

the beans loved the fountain & were jealous of the boy that was full on swimming in it. he must have nicer parents than they do.

 *gasp* do you hear that?

 it's the bell tower! they were super jazzed about that. :)

 cossette & her papa were pretty conjoined the entire time we were in nor cal.

engineering building

 can you believe some of this detail? incredible architecture.

 letting the kidlets run ahead...

 palm trees interspersed with all the stone work & ivy. quite a unique look.

 the student himself has been on campus fewer times than his wifey. haha

 my beauty of a sister came along too.

ellery was thrilled the whole walk through, telling austin over and over "you have such a cool school daddy boy! wow!" it was pretty cute.

 i just kept finding all these fun angles

 the church building on campus.

 it is remarkably intricate.

 ...

 apparently stanford has more bikes registered than students. i love that!

 the group of us

 now, not all of us are stanford material... as seen here as i dance/marched around

& here when coke lost all faith in her naughty auntie. tisk - tisk.

 

stone's parents came in later that day & took us all out to buca di beppo to celebrate.

 starting around the table,

my 'rents,

 with cossette,

 stephanie and ellery,

 & renée and brian.

i love this pic of my happy cocobean.

 all VERY excited that néenée is here!

let the festivities begin :)
