A Train Ride to Zoomar's

Last Monday, Moses and Ayla headed to Zoomar's, a petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano, on the train.

Here are the two little buddies ready for their first train ride.

"WOW!  Look at everything going by!"

"Look at all these rabbits and gerbils I get to feed and pet!"

"Uhm...why isn't this bunny eating this carrot?" 

Could it be that Moses is trying to feed the bunny on his head?

With the help of Ayla, Moses got the hang of feeding the rabbits.

"Look!  I'm holding a gerbil all by myself."

Moses looks pretty happy about holding the gerbil, but you should have heard the poor gerbil.

Moses had no fear when it came to the goats.  Nothing was going to get in the way of him getting up that bridge.

"Move out of the way goats, cuz here I come!"

Moses rode on the train all by himself with Nicole and Ayla.

This day was filled with firsts.  Moses also swung on the big boy swing all by himself.

"Riding a bale of hay is pretty lame!"

"But riding a pony is pretty awesome!"

"That's right!  I'm riding a pony all by myself!"

"YEEHAW!!  I'm a true cowboy!"

The day ended with another train ride with Moses as the train conductor.



M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Daddy finally caved and we got annual passes to Disneyland.

Here are the Kappy boys in awe at the entrance.  As you can see on their faces, it was going to be an EXCITING day! 



Well, it was an exciting day, until we had to wait in line for rides.

The first ride was Alice and Wonderland.  Moses had a wonderful time following that White Rabbit. 

Then it was to the Mad Tea Party, where Moses spun around in his teacup.

"No kisses, Daddy!  Not on the ride!"

"OH! OKAY!"

Then for a calming ride, we headed for a boat ride on It's a Small World.  Moses's favorite part was the journey through Asia (GEE! Imagine that!)

Then it was time for a little siesta!

It was an adventure packed day, so maybe more than a little siesta.  It was an hour long snooze!

What makes waking up from a nap easy?  BUBBLES, of course!  A bubble gun was one souvenir that Moses needed.

And another souvenir that he needed was Mickey ears, of course.

Our little Daredevil.....

 While changing the sheets on his crib, Moses found a new activity.  He decided to put his daredevil skills to the test.

"I promise I won't hurt myself!  It's just one little step up...."

"...or maybe a couple more steps up."

"Hey, look...I made it to the top!"

"WHEEE!!  Now I'll slide all the way back down!"

"That was FUN!  But, please don't try this at home!"

SHAMU....Here We Come!!

A couple of weeks ago, we headed to SeaWorld with the Raymundo girls.  With Moses's new found love for fish, it was going to be a WINNER for sure!

This was the only group photo of Moses, Reese, and Rowan.  It isn't that great, but better than nothing. 



SeaWorld is filled with fish, but we never made it passed Sesame Street's Bay of Play.  Here's Moses and Reese on Abby's Sea Star Spin.

"Watch out!  I'm coming through the tunnel!"

And here comes Rowan through the tunnel.

Moses and Reese had a great time building with the huge blocks.

Moses ran around in a crazy frenzy of fun!

The BEST part of the day was saved for last.

"OMG!!!  IT'S ELMO!!!!"

AAAAHHHH!  Big hug for Elmo!

Check Me Out....

Moses has become obsessed with fish.  Every time he sees fish anywhere, he yells, "FISH! FISH!" and puckers his lips to make fish sounds.  So of course when he saw a big, red fish on his swim diaper, he HAD to put it on and pucker up his lips. 

"I'm ready for a swim with the fish!"

Just Trying to Earn My Keep....

At 19 months, we have decided that Moses is quite old enough to help out with the household chores.  His first duty was vacuuming his playroom.  He did it with a smile! 

He's such a GREAT helper, could be better than his Daddy (hee!hee!)!
