Wild Animal Park and Zoo

I think Grant's favorite thing at the zoo was this helicopter up by the polar bears. We waited in line and let him sit in it twice because he had so much fun!

End of the day at the zoo... We're pooped.

We took Grant into the petting zoo at the Wild Animal Park and he was more interested in playing with the sand than petting the animals. He did pet a few, and went for the ears like he does Lily. Thank goodness these are very calm animals!

San Diego Beach

Grant and Samantha both had so much fun at the beach in San Diego. Grant wasn't at all interested in the sand (and we can't keep him out of the sandbox at home) and wouldn't get out of the water. When we left, he kept saying "more beach." Samantha loved playing in the sand, and didn't really try to eat it until she fell face first into it. Oops.

Sea World San Diego

This fish was huge! Grant was walking along the edge of the tank following it as it swam. It was really fun to watch!

Grant got tired of riding in the stroller and so we let him "help." He always wants to help.

One tired baby (we actually had 2 tired babies, but didn't get a picture of Grant sleeping).

We had fun at our day at Sea World in San Diego. Grant loved the shows that we went to. We even sat in the splash zone during the whale show and he didn't really mind getting splashed! We also saw a 4-D Sesame Street movie while we were there. We got a kick out of watching Grant react to the 3-D. Suprisingly, he kept his glasses on the whole time.

She's breathing my air!!

Normally, whenever Grant gets within arm reach of Samantha, she dives for him. She loves Grant and wants to play with him. Normally, he has ZERO patience with her, and swats her away. I feel like the whole, "Mom, she's breathing my air" complaint is starting already. Today, Samantha scooted close to Grant and I had to take out the camera. Grant was patient with her because he likes to look at himself after I take the picture. Fair enough...

Water Skiing 2010

We took a family from our ward water skiing. They have two boys aged 3 and 4 -- it was a ton of fun. All we hear from Grant now is "boat," especially when he sees a truck (with or without a hitch, he doesn't seem to get it)... Grant had a lot of fun playing in the water too - there was a great area to boat into and picnic for lunch and enjoy the lake from the shore.

Kids do the funniest things

Grant loves this big bunny stuffed animal. He loves all over it and it sometimes even keeps him company in the sandbox when Mom's too lazy to play outside (and isn't paying attention to the white bunny going outside). The other day, Grant was sitting on our bed and grabbed his bunny, held it accross his chest and said "eat." He was nursing the bunny! At least he didn't lift his shirt too!

Grant's 2nd Birthday

A wagon from Grandpa and Grandma Nut. Momo helped Grant open his other gifts.

A bike from Mom and Dad (he's stil too short for the pedals but he loves to ride it around the backyard.

A basketball hoop from Grandma Karen

The easiest cake ever... Grant picks up this hotwheel and says "birthday cake." It's amazing to me that he remembers!

Grant loved his cake (of course). When we sang him happy birthday he kind of just look around at all of us. He blew out his candle a few times (thanks to Daddy).
