fun in the sun

Sorry to all my blog friends, for neglecting you for so long. I have been traveling, meeting girls, and getting into bar room brawls.

This past weekend mom, dad, and me went to Sacramento, California where lots of our favorite people are- the Hoods & Day. We got to fly on a big airplane (I was the most well behaved toddler on board of course), ate some spicy chicken at El Centro, went to a wedding, and played at Fairy Tale Land. Here is my photo journal of the trip:

I love that water. I really really really wanted to go swim in the fountains. But, we had a wedding to attend. Drats!

I'm lookin' gooooooooooooood. No wonder Samantha was chasing me all night and trying to crawl into small spaces with me.

Not really sure this high chair was made for both of us to fit underneath, but we gave it a shot.

This is me, right after Carol pushed me down to the ground and I skinned my lip. Mom and dad were freaking out. Okay, Carol didn't do it. It was the ground that jumped out at me and tripped me. There was a lot of blood, but since dad had his Raiders hat on, people just thought we were normally like this.

Mom even got some blood on her shirt (see below). But we still managed to become the royal family in King Arthur's Court.

And here I am, looking gooooooooooood again.

To all our friends (family) in California- thanks for making this such a wonderful trip. We had so much fun, and so far we do not show any signs of swine flu. Can't wait to see you all again SOON!

monkeying around at the zoo

This weekend mom and dad took me to the Como zoo and Conservatory (Thanks Carol and Jeri for the membership-we'll be back here many more times!).

Mom, if you line up palm fronds in an interlocking pattern, you can build yourself a new basket or purse. That way daddy won't have to see a charge for a new Hobo purse on the monthly statement.

Here I am up close with a sea otter. I know Aunt Carol loves otters too. Wonder how I can get in there and take a bath with him?

This is a wooly monkey. Daddy says I act a lot like a monkey, and now that I look closely, I do see a strong resemblance.

Are you sure I can't go swim with the fishies? The sign just says "Please don't feed fish." I don't see anything about swimming in the pond.
