Party Animal!

Sleeping it off!

New Bike

So after riding a motorcycle for over a year, Gus finally got a pedal bike.  Gram Ju Ju and Grandpa Dean gave it to him.  It took him all of about a week to get rid of the training wheels for good. He amazes me.  His balance is great and he loves it.The first night he kept saying "this is fun, this is really fun!"

San Diego Wild Animal Park

The day before Gus' birthday (Mother's Day this year), we went to the animal park.  Just Gus and I went because it was supposed to be quite hot.  It is laid out with hot days and kids in mind.  They have multiple playgrounds and with features for the kids to play.  It was one of the best Mother's day I have had.  Gus was an angel all day and we had a blast.  Here are a bunch of pictures.

With all the animals, Gus waned to see the RC boats first before we visited any animals

Ears of a bat

Giraffes from the tram ride

One of Gus' favorite animals, the okapi (1/2 zebra and 1/2 giraffe)

Can't go to the zoo and not get ice cream, right?

Gus loved feeding the Lorikeets.  He was so patient and gentle that they ate from him until all the nectar was gone.

One of the water features that cooled the kids off.  We finished the day off here and he undressed down to his underwear and got soaked.  I brought extra ones so he wouldn't have to sit in the wet stuff.

 

Gus' Kids Birthday Party

So the birthday season has started...  We had Gus' birthday for his friends at the play ground in town.  The kids played for three hours straight.  It was a wonderful spring day and we all had fun.

Hannah is one of my instructors.  She is from Iowa and Gus loves that she knows all about tractors.  He wants to go visit here farm.

Gus loves girls in pink, add sequence and he is a goner.

May Race

The May race fell on my birthday weekend and it was super hot in the desert so we decided just to go for the day on Saturday.  Only Gus raced.  His good buddy, Carter, had gotten a new bike so they were both having a blast.  Here are a fe pictures with Gus and Carter.

Easter photo shoot

It is rare for the whole family to be dressed up, so we thought we would take advantage of it and get some good pictures.  Here are some of the best ones.

Easter 2014

We had a wonderful Easter.  Judy came over from the island for a visit and it was a beautiful warm weekend.  The Easter Bunny tied a string to Gus' door and he had to follow it all around the house and then outside to his basket which was hidden.  That silly Easter Bunny.  Here are a few pictures of him searching for it.
