Big Boy at School

I took a few Parent and Me classes with Mommy and Daddy this summer.  Ms Vivian was my teacher and she was also my brother's teacher when he was 2 years old.  I had so much fun that I can't wait to go to preschool now.

A Day at the Zoo

Brother and Daddy went camping for a weekend and Mommy and I went on a few of adventures of our own.  We went to the Santa Ana Zoo.  It was a nice time to see the animals, ride the train, and play with the kids on the gym set.  I had a great day!

Big Bounce

We spent some time at Big Air Trampoline Park in Lake Forest.  It was super bouncy and super fun!  We all got one great workout.

'All Aboard' Poway Railroad

We went to Poway with Grandma and Grandpa Heritage and road the train.  It was a quaint train that took us on a little ride around the park.  We ate yummy breakfast at a local café and walked around the small town.  There was a Farmer's Market going on, so we got to sample so local fruit and eat kettle corn.  The weather was very humid and it ended up storming on us, but at least it cooled us down a bit.  It was a great weekend adventure!

My 1st Dental Visit

I'm such a big boy now.  I went to the dentist for the first time and I did not even cry.  I was so brave and I got my teeth cleaned and examined and I sat in the chair all by myself.  At the end of the visit, Dr Mike gave us a toy and Mommy and Daddy took us to have a special treat.  The dentist is not scary at all.

Summer Adventures

We have had many wonderful adventures this summer.  We went on our annual Palm Springs vacation at the end of May.  It was so much fun...spending time with Grandpa John and Suzanne, Auntie Janelle, Uncle Robert, and Joce, and my Mommy, Daddy, and Palmer.  We spent our days in the pool and our mornings and evenings walking around the golf course.  We had so much fun, I did not want to leave.  I can't wait until we go back next year.  We celebrated 4th of July with a vacation to Grandma Lu's house.  We saw the neighborhood firework show and I got to light fireworks with all my cousins.  We swam all day, every day.  I had a little more independence swimming because I use floaties now.  We visited the Train Museum at Griffith Park, saw the Space Shuttle Endeavor at the California Science Center, explored at the La Habra Children's Museum, and rode the mini trains at Fairview Park in Costa Mesa.  Since Daddy is home with me now, we get to have our own little adventures to the beach.  I love our daily rides in my jeep.  Since my brother got a big boy bike now, his balance bike is now mine.  I like riding it and really like riding my brother's scooter.  I really enjoy being outside and being active.  I still like my trampoline and using my sprayers to water the plants and flowers.  I am enjoying my time with my family and I really like my Daddy being home too.  I can't wait for many more adventures this summer.

Weekend Adventure

We went on as road trip this weekend to the Bay Area for cousin Steve's wedding.  We made a few stops along the way and it was a wonderful weekend adventure. 

We met up with Grandma Katy, Grandpa Al, Aunt Susan, and cousin Lily in San Ramon.  We went and ate Zachary's Pizza.  It is Mommy's and Daddy's favorite pizza place.  We had delicious deep dish pizza.  We then ventured through the East Bay into Marin passing the beautiful cityscape of San Francisco as we drove to our hotel in Novato.  We stayed at a quaint hotel called Inn Marin with our entire family and the rest of the out of town wedding guests.  We went to the rehearsal dinner at cousin Steve's house in Rohnert Park on Friday evening.  After some yummy food and family time, we went back to our hotel to call it a night.  We had a long day planned on Saturday and after waking up at 5 am to begin our road that morning, we were all spent. 

The next day we ventured into the city where we met up with the Clayton family in Golden Gate Park.  We cruised through the Botanical Gardens and enjoyed some quality time together.  We grabbed a bite at Pluto's near the park.  We had to head back to Novato in the afternoon to get ready for Steve and Nicole's evening wedding at Stone Tree Country Club.  The venue was very nice and the view was picturesque.  We had so much fun at the wedding.  I took a nap during dinner while my brother ate some yummy chicken nuggets and mac and cheese.  I woke up in time for the dancing and we boogied on the dance floor for quite some time.  It was way past our bed time after they cut the cake so we had one last dance and went back to our hotel. 

On Sunday morning we had breakfast with our family then packed our things for our next mini trip further north to Sacramento.  Being so close to our friends, the Cramsey family, we had to stop by for a visit.  On our way to their house, we stopped to see the Capital and Old Sacramento.  While visiting with our friends, we had yummy barbeque that they prepared for us and Palmer and I played with Ariana, Jocelyn, and Dylan while Mommy and Daddy reconnected with Anna and Sean.  It was the perfect ending to a memorable weekend getaway.

The drive up and back was boring, but the destination was worth the journey.  I can't wait to see my
friends and family again soon.
