More Grandparents

 It's grandparent time in the Zachary household.  No more flying around the continent to go visiting.  This time, I can languish in granparents' arms just seconds from my toy-filled play area.  Daddy is going to work next week and things are going to be quieter around here pretty soon, but right now I'll keep enjoying the endless comfort and attention of grammy Karen and grandpa Warren, and mommy and daddy as well.

Green Steel

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

SLC

I got to go on my first plane ride, or so I hear.  I got tired and fell asleep, and when I woke up, we were in this new place called "Salt Lick City".  I got to meet all my mommy's relatives.  There sure are a lot of them.  By the time I counted up to two, I had lost count, there were so many, and then some.  My grandma and I hit it off really well.  She really likes me, I can tell. 

I also visited a fancy dancy garden that had lots of flowers and plants and things.  It was a long hike, so mommy carried me a little ways.

PEPS

I joined a PEPS group (Program for Early Parenting Support).  I go hang out with all of my buddies for an evening each week.  Our parents come along as well.  Our parents usually don't need much support - they seem to do pretty well without our supervision, but we make sure to keep an eye on them anyways.  Otherwise, we spend our time talking about the latest onesies fashion trends and bragging about how much baby fat we've gained in the past week.   I like to wear my muscle shirt, too.

Camping in Mazama

Camping is pretty great. It's cold outside, so I like to stay bundled up in my bouncy chair and watch my dad cook breakfast.

First Camping

 I am an experienced camper.  My first camping trip was for a whole hour in our back yard, before we decided to go back in the house and sleep.  Then the next day we stayed in the back yard for the whole night.  I got to sleep between mommy and daddy on my own sleeping pad that time.   Then we went to Salmon La Sac.  It was really cold there, and I decided to hibernate most of the night.  Mommy and daddy kept poking me to see if I was alive.  Can't anyone get a decent sleep around here?   The next day, we went for my first hike, up along Cooper River.  We hiked for almost an hour.  Then I got hungry.  This whole camping/hiking thing really builds up the appetite.

Point and Shoot

How does this camera work?  I am trying to take pictures of the little birdies outside, but I can barely see through the camera lens.  And every time I push the button, I get blinded.  What gives?
