Chickens and seagulls



This was a fun and busy weekend. Saturday we went to the Fair Oaks Village Chicken Festival. Jake got to meet a big chicken and some real chickens as well. He also got to see and pet an alpaca. Not quite a llama, but close. Sunday we went to Marin and saw family. We spent 3 hours in a park and walked by the shore of the bay. Jake got to see seagulls and jellyfish (from a distance in both cases) and got a lot of walking practice in. He even walked next to Mommy instead of in front. He's getting better by the day at this walking stuff. He also got to try carrot cake and cream cheese frosting (a sneek peek at next week's festivities, unbeknownst to him). He LOVED it. And my nefarious plan worked perfectly... 30 minutes after the cake and icing, the sugar crash set in, we bundled him into the car, and he made it to Davis asleep. Yay! Thanks to Auntie Heather for that little tip!

Mommy has jury duty tomorrow and will be spending the week getting ready for someone's FIRST BIRTHDAY - I can't believe it's already here.
