Off to school

Jory came up with a way to carry his lunchbox on his tricycle to school!

Jory at the dentist

Jory had his first trip to the density! He did a great job staying still while "Mr. Thirsty" was in his mouth, and he got a skateboard keychain as a present for being a good boy.

San Carlos airport day

Daddy and Jory went to the plane museum on Saturday, and our attention was quickly diverted to the adjacent San Carlos airport, where they were having a family day replete with temporary tattoos, fire trucks, helicopters... and planes of course. This photo is part II in a series (scroll down to the fourth photo of the link):

Back Blog: Easter

Jory had a lot of fun around Easter this year. First, he came home from school dressed like a bunny:


I know it's tough to tell from the picture because he's giving me the stinkeye, but he looked really cute.

Then we took him to the Hiller Aviation Museum for their holiday celebration because they had lined up face painters, model trains, and the Easter Bunny, who was arriving ... by helicopter.

Jory really enjoyed the face painting. Well, the arm painting - no one ever wants to paint Jory's face. I tell myself it's because it's such a small surface.


The artist didn't mind, so Daddy got his arm painted too!




Then it was time for the main event - the flyover by the Easter Bunny in a helicopter!


As you might have expected, Jory was more interested in the helicopter than in the guy in the giant rabbit suit:


It was a busy day!

Happy Hollow: MIscellaneous

We did a few other things at Happy Hollow too, just to round out the day!




Happy Hollow: The Rides

Jory was only a little too young for some of the rides at Happy Hollow. Here's the one he liked best:



We also went on the dragon "train":


And the carousel:



Happy Hollow: The Animals

Today I took Jory and his grandparents to Happy Hollow, a local petting zoo/regular zoo/amusement park.

Jory turned out to be terrified of goats (who knew?), so the petting zoo was a bust. We had better luck with some of the other zoo animals. The ones who were safely incarcerated.

OK, this first one is a cheat - statue:

Meerkats:


And monkeys!
