Cherry Blossom Festival

We spent another fun weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's, and checked out the Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival at Memorial Park. There was Japanese food, art, demonstrations, and cultural exhibits, but of course all I wanted to see were the animals!

This akita was so fluffy. I couldn't stop petting him!

Koi fishies.

I even rode a pony, but didn't stay on very long.

After a stop at the playground, we cooled off with some shave ice. Yummy!

On the way out we passed by a bouncy house and watched some kids jumping. Mommy asked if I wanted to go in. My response? "Up and down!" while nodding my head. Luckily there were no other kids in line so when it was my turn I had the bouncy house all to myself!

Even Daddy got to go in with me. Clearly I need to work on my balance.

I had so much fun at the festival that we stopped by again the following morning. This time I went just to meet some more animals at the petting zoo.

Hello Guinea Pig!

Hello Horsy!

I got a Dora pinwheel and enjoyed some kettle corn too.

Mommy and Daddy are really good at tiring me out. I passed out on the floor at Grandma and Grandpa's for two hours!

Spring Fling

This past weekend we enjoyed some awesome weather at the BMC Annual Spring Fling in Washington Square Park.

There were bunnies!

And duckies!

There was also a bubble station. A bubble guy made some giant bubbles. Then, I attempted to make my own.

I made some bunny ears at the crafts table, but then I refused to give up the glue stick. Mommy had to distract me with oranges.

It was such a nice day that we took a second afternoon outing to Burton Park. Anything to keep me busy and tire me out!

Happy Spring!

San Diego Safari Park

It was a beautiful day for the zoo, and we all had a blast at Safari Park.

Kieran showed me one of his favorite exhibits, Lorikeet Landing. I loved the colorful little birds and even tried to feed them some nectar.

Then, we visited Butterfly Jungle. There were butterflies everywhere! Mommy took lots of pics.

A butterfly even landed on her shirt and we all got a close-up look.

Finally, we went on the Africa Tram Safari. 

We got really lucky since most of the animals were out and we got to see a lot more than expected. Even the safari guide said it was one of her best tours in a long time (or she could have been lying).

"Raffe!"

We even witnessed a fight!

Afterward, I passed out in my stroller and missed this gorilla family.

What a memorable trip!

Easter in San DiEGGo

We spent an extra long Easter weekend in San Diego with Goo Ma, Goo Jeff, Alex and Kieran. I had soooo much fun!

The weekend started with an Easter Egg hunt in Torrey Hills. Although I had gotten some practice doing an egg hunt at day care, I was a little overwhelmed at first. There were so many people! I was also distracted by this giant Easter bunny giving out hugs in the middle of the field. It was scary and I had to make sure it didn't come near me. I still made out pretty well and was able to gather ten eggs (with Daddy's help).

The field for 0-2 year olds.

Keeping my eye out for the Easter bunny. Don't let that thing come near me.



Alex and Kieran did the hunt for the older kids and afterwards we compared our loot. 


That night we left our empty baskets out and in the morning, we discovered that the Easter bunny had come to visit! My basket was filled with goodies, including a puppy book, a bunny, clothes, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, candy, and Peeps. Even though I was terrified of the Easter bunny (and therefore have no pictures with it), I guess that giant bunny isn't so bad after all. Thanks Easter bunny!

We also enjoyed a private egg hunt in the backyard.

Looking like a pro.

My cousins really know how to show me a good time!

We went to the swimming pool three days in a row!
