CA trip part 3: San Jose

D: You know that trip to California that happened a month and a half ago? Well this post is about the time we got to spend with my family. Part of that time, my parents got to take a short vacation while we held the fort down.

This is the floatie swim suit we got for Everett. We found that on vacation, a normal swim suit worked a lot better than this sumo suit.
E has been upping his yoga game lately. He laughs when we stretch and tries to imitate what we do. This pose he's doing, though, he just does randomly. It's hilarious.

Perhaps E's favorite pastime all of vacation was playing catch. Ironically, he still can't catch. He loves chasing after the ball, though. He loved playing with Aerin especially, who he calls "Airy".

He loved sidewalk chalk. He marked himself and each of the stepping stones in the backyard.

A: We met up with my cousin Haley and her fiance Matt in San Jose. We had a really nice visit. I had never met Matt. Dallin and I liked Matt, and with my approval they are now allowed to get married :)

Happy Hollow Park and Zoo

 

 I guess Everett remembered his not-so merry-go-round experience, and was therefore resistant before the ride began. He actually calmed down as the ride got moving.
He did better with this petting zoo than the fateful "fluffy bunny" experience. He was more interested in the goats' poop and the climbing wall, but it's progress.

 It's a good thing Ev is free admission at most places, because he just doesn't appreciate them yet. He would rather play on the play set or sit on a wooden horse. He was mad at us when we left the paleontology play area where he had been playing in the dirt.

We had a great movie night with Thomas and Candice. We watched David Bowie's masterpiece "Labyrinth". Alicia had never seen it before. It was so fun.
