Every Saturday for the past month, Dan and I have been meeting up with other parents for walks, lunch, and drinks. The group is called "Babies and Beer." It's sort of like a playdate, but for grown-ups! We really enjoy it, and we're thankful to have so many new friends in the area!
Here are some pictures of our last meetup-- a party at our apartment with pizza, beer, and Cards Against Humanity. It was totally irreverent and loud, which was perfect. We fit 16 adults (and 8 babies) into our little living room!

Another shot of the group. We all fit pretty well!
It's really nice to include the dads-- not just moms and babies. |

Hi, going out on a limb here... My wife and I recently had our first (Lana Renee) and we're also new to the area. We heard about the beer and baby events, but can't seem to find anything in Santa Cruz/Capitola. This blog is the only mention I could find. So, can you help us out?
ReplyDeleteSide note, even if this comment will not get answered. I really enjoyed the photo's and stories. You've got an adorable kid, happiness galore.
Hi Izak!! Congrats on your little one!! That is such a beautiful name.
DeleteMy husband and I were also recent transplants with a new baby, so I remember what it was like. We moved when she was six weeks old!
