Happy Hollow

Today, Grammy, Cecilia and I went to Happy Hollow, a park and zoo in San Jose. Cecilia really seemed to enjoy running around the play area and going down the slides. 

Later she got to drive her police car, and ride the dragon train with Mommy and Grammy.

Then we went on a carousel ride and Cecilia rode a dolphin.

 We saw some farm animals (goats, sheep, a cow, and miniature horses). Cecilia likes talking and singing about cows, but when experiencing one up close, she was a little scared. After getting some lunch, we rode the carousel one more time. This time Cecilia got to ride a leopard. All in all, it was a great day!

Oranges!

Andy's girlfriend has four orange trees so she asked if I wanted any... I said how many? What's the upper limit. So I ended up with a trash bag of 50 oranges. Laura and Mary Sue and I spent an hour washing, cutting, and juicing and now we have a half gallon of fresh squeezed juice! Next time I'll make marmalade.

A new friend

Cecilia has recently made a new friend, Shayla. Shayla is about 6
months younger than Cecilia and lives across the street and down about
4 houses. We went to her house for a playdate a couple weeks ago and
have played with her at the school across the street a couple times.
Cecilia and Shayla seem to have a lot of fun together, chasing one
another, playing peekaboo and walking around holding hands. Shayla's
mom took a cute picture of them holding hands.
