This weekend was so busy! On Saturday, we met up with a friend and his son from Santa Rosa. We went to Fairytale town and the Sacramento zoo. Zachary loved the slides at Fairytale town. In addition to the park-like play structures, there were farm animals to pet, garden plants to water, and teepees and forts to play in. There was also a winding balance beam path called the "crooked mile." Zach had so much fun - I think toddlers like these types of basic playgrounds better than the flashy animatronics at Disneyland.
Next, we went to the zoo. Zachary liked the fish the best because it was hard to see any of the animals. There was a bug exhibit he liked too. He likes anything hands-on and active over observing ... his maximum attention span for TV is 12 minutes.
That evening, his Graeber Grandparents came over for dinner. We had a casual BBQ of burgers and salad. Zach liked playing with his Grandpa. He loved it when James blew on a whistle and pretended to choke. Early signs of schadenfreude?
And that was just Saturday! On Sunday, he went to EncouraGYM and later this afternoon my friend Julie, Keith (husband), and Max (son) are coming to visit. Julie is my high school friend from Maryland - she went to a wedding in/near Yosemite, so they are going to visit us. Yea!

Zach is just so gosh darn adorable.
His expressions reflect his genuine interests in the activites.
Have a great Sunday.
He looks really big when he's alone, then when you or your husband is holding, he's TINY...awwww...so cute. =)
he looks soooo happy in the last three pics. oh, cute as usual!
Can never get tired of seeing your pics. Such a lovely time Zach and family had! I particularly love the whistle pics. It looks like Zach is laughing so hard his stomach hurts. Hehe.
i love ur son! he's SO adorable!
he is getting sooo big!
He is soooo cute! I can't wait until Gannon can walk on his own...it's exhausting to have to carry him all the time - even with our new hip carrier (Duke bought me one after he saw that you had one!). I can't wait to see all of you at Jerry's wedding! It will be a fun time!
Good luck with your new job!
Schadenfreude was a new word for me. I like it!
Wow.. what a busy yet productive weekend.... Uggghhh.. My weekends from now on are totally wedding related...
Bummer...
Have a great day!
ryc: Thanks for the advice, I sooo know what you mean. My sister takes...ONE HOUR minimum to just pack up the kids to go to Family Lunch...*shocked*, even with help...we never get out the door on time. =)
Yeah, you have to be 18+ to get in...haha.
James' choaking bit looks hilarious! I can't wait to see it.
hehe, u can afford bigger homes the further you go into the boonies!
i love the pictures where he's looking so attentively at the zoo, so intrigued : )
When I get back, I am going to take him on a trip. Just him and me.
