Gilroy Gardens

Last year we discovered Gilroy Gardens. What a great place for small children. Garrett rode all the rides last year by himself and loved it. So we took him and Gannon there yesterday before Daddy heads back to school. It was a little too hot for Mom, so thank goodness the lines weren't long and 3 hours was plenty of time. The only thing we didn't ride this year was the train. Gannon even went on his first ride and had a great time.

Every ride is little kid size - so cute

How Gannon Eats

So as I have mentioned before, Gannon is not a big fan of his baby food. So they sell these teething ring things with a net on one side for food to go in. I thought I would try one out since he loves to chew on his toys. He loves to chew on bananas and sweet potatoes he just must not like the texture of baby food. A bath after his snack is a must, it makes a huge mess! After the Giants game we had dinner at our hotel and I thought he could entertain himself with a banana while we ate. He is getting so big sitting in his own high chair at the restaurant. Cute, but sad!

Wow that was good - what a mess

Go Giants

We took the boys on Sunday to the Giants game and they both did great and we all had a great time. Garrett was so confused at why the Angels weren't playing. He thought they were the only team that played. He also kept calling it softball, not sure where that came from.

Dave and I have been together for almost 5 years and since he is a huge sports fan we have been going to games every year. It wasn't until this year that my questions regarding the game began to drive him crazy! Sorry, but the lingo just doesn't make any sense. A no hitter to me is when the ball never gets his, not when the ball gets hit but no-one gets on base. A save to me means the pitcher brings a game from being and wins, not that they save the starting pitchers score separation. I'm sure I'm not explaining these right, but really it just doesn't make any sense. Whatever!!!

We went to the game, had a great time and ran the bases after the game. Garrett had ran the bases a couple of years ago with Papa, but this time he took off all on his own. He ran onto the grass a couple of time and the guards had to grab him and put him back on track - it was so cute. I ran with Gannon and he was grinning from ear to ear.

Cheese!

Watching TV

Isn't this how you watch tv? Garrett was so cute on Saturday morning I had to snap a picture. Lying on the coffee table with all his necessities - blankie, milk and flyboat!

Gannon and Jax

Gannon and Jax really don't have a choice but to be friends so we got together for a quick mommy visit and play time for the little guys. It's amazing they are so little and still don't like to share!!! After a stare down one broke out in a cry and then of course that set the other off too. Really boys, it's just a drum. Gannon is two months older than Jax and they are almost the exact same size - Jax eats his Wheaties and Gannon refuses to eat!!!

Gannon was trying so hard to get it from Jax - it was a way cool drum

Seriously Another Fair!

Obviously we didn't get enough time at the Merced Fair that we felt the need to visit the Stanislaus Fair too! Actually Daddy had to judge clean barn so we tagged along. Garrett could hangout at the fair all day watching all the animals. He loved the big corn box (like a sand box). Gannon is slowly getting used to the animals too.

Wow - a little close
Yeah a cow

Check out the chicks!

Yeah the corn box

Garrett was studying the big kids in the show ring - he should be a pro by the time it's his turn!!!

Bike Ride

Gannon is finally big enough to go for a ride in the bike trailer. So since it wasn't 100 degrees this weekend we took the boys for a ride. Garrett was a great big brother during the ride and even let Gannon borrow his blanket for his nap. Daddy's legs were a little sore - pulling an extra 60lbs for 11 miles was quite the workout!
