Here is Z at his friend's 3 year birthday party!
Lots of action there today. They had pizza, apple juice, cupcakes and a bouncy house.
Most of his friends were there...so what more could you ask for?
Then, Z had a huge nap!
We have many dandelions in our backyard.
Once in a while I try to dig them up, but it is no use.
They come back. I just read that trying to dig them up actually helps them come back even more. I surrender.
Z loves them. I don't blame him. I used to love blowing the little parachute seed pods myself as a child. Once in a while today I still blow one just to see the seeds blow in the wind and disperse. Mostly now, I just watch Z do it. He can't resist a full round puffy dandelion.
Right now we have lots of tempting dandelions to blow.
Z went to the snow.
We didn't stay outside too long since we
didn't have snow gear. We were outside just long enough to
build a mini snowman and take some photos.
Z ended up getting snow in his boots and got cold very fast after that. We used his rainboots and since the snow was a little over a foot tall the snow easily got inside. Now we want to go back better prepared to enjoy all of the fun of the snow. It was fun. I got him a snow saucer already for next time. I know he will love it.
We went to the LA zoo for Valentine's day. This photo of the sculpture was taken near the Campo Gorilla Reserve. Z didn't need any prompting to go
next to the gorilla sculpture for a photo. He was having fun checking it out.
It was just Z and I with a million other people from LA. It was fun.
Z is beginning to know the layout of zoo. He likes to look at
the map to see where we are and what animals we are going to see.
He is also an expert at getting treats lately. We had an icecream sandwich. Then, later at home he remembered that he had some Valentine's day treats from preschool.
At first glance these Big Horns look like they are ramming each other.
Then on closer inspection it is realized that they are eating.
It's feeding time!
We became members to the LA Zoo, so expect to see more zoo animals posted this year.
We went to the LA Zoo today.
Z loved the gators. When we went to the park section of the zoo he found the gator to sit on. It was a photo Op moment. Other moms were posing their kids on the gator too. The gator didn't seem to have much time without a child riding him, sitting on him or jumping off of him. The other highlights of the zoo were the giraffes, the
chimpanzees and snow cone. Lots of stuff going on there today with lots of people.
You could say it was a zoo at the zoo.
I hiked on a trail in the Santa Monica mountains today.
The day was beautiful. I was a little sleepy, but still enjoyed being out in the mountains. Happy 2009 everyone!
