• Two weeks of pictures and activities to post!

  Zachary has officially started summer camp (which is basically daycare but with more focus on activities instead of academics). Two Fridays ago, James took Zachary on a field trip to a small amusement park (Funderland) and the Sacramento zoo. The kids decorated visors and ate a picnic lunch too!

  

  Over that weekend, Zachary had his swim lessons and in the evening, James took him back to the aquatic center for a free family movie event. They brought lawn chairs and watched The Curious George movie on a projector screen outside. On Sunday, we went to La Taqueria for our weekly family lunch outing. Calie loved the spanish rice, and Zachary enjoyed a quesadilla.

   

    

  Last Friday, James went to Zach's daycare for a Father's Day event, where the kids sang a song and then everyone had a root beer float. Saturday, Zachary had swim lessons in the morning, and in the evening, we went to a barbecue at the Bacos. Zachary really enjoyed playing with their sprinkler "toy" - and I was quite impressed by how 4-year-old Luke could build a sprinkler system!

  Creatures of habit, on Sunday, we went out for Mexican food again ... What can I say, we have a lot of coupons and 75% of our household enjoys Mexican food.

   

    

  On actual Father's day, the kids gave James personal gifts they made at school. I gave him a shirt (impulse purchase at Costco) and Ed Hardy cologne that Zachary helped pick out. The best part was when I asked Zachary to explain how he picked the cologne ... he said,"It says love on it, and I love you sooooo much. For infinity years!" and crawled in James' lap for a big hug!  In the afternoon, I took the kids to the mall to get pictures taken - Calie's 10 month pictures and a few sheets of Zachary too! As a bonus, we met up with Dana, her mom, and Jason.

  Today (Thursday) my team went out to Shady Oaks park for a delicious picnic lunch of tri-tip, ribs, baked beans, and chips. I was then introduced to my first ever game of frisbee golf. It was pretty hot (okay, VERY hot) outside, but it was fun learning a new sport and hanging out with my team.

  

  As for Calie milestones ... she has a new tooth (her 7th) and just this week, the kids are actually starting to play with each other. It's mostly Zachary telling Calie what to do and copying (mocking?) her ... but she enjoys it and they actually laugh and interact for a few minutes. I love watching them play.
