TSR

 getting ready for my hike.  looking happy as always.  this beanie is itchy!
 this is Tsunami Day actually.  not really smart of my parents to take me down to the tidepools.  not to mention the rocks are insanely slippery.  stick to the trails people.
 ah!  relaxing with a book.
 baby deer that was walking by the house.
wild turkey.  we saw a whole flock while out hiking.

 real forest by the ocean.
why did the cow cross the road?

Biking Back Bay

 ready to go.  getting a pre ride meal.  the REI flyer really has a lot of fiber and feels good on the gums.  loving the pink bunnies helmet.
 world renowned soccer coach Uncle Pete.  getting stoked for our ride.
 it's scientific.  the center was running classes so we could not visit.  just taking some pictures on daddy's Mamasita.  it is such a comfy ride.
 a Mallard couple enjoying the early evening hours.
not 100%, but we think this is an American Kestrel.  check the beak and talons!  again we need to score a bigger lens...

 Quail Hill Trailhead.  relaxing in the back of the car before our arduous journey.
 all kitted out and packed into the Kid Carrier.  this is right before we made a wrong turn and went down the wrong trail.  so silly.

Pink Bunnies

first i would like to give a shout out to Uncle Rob for donating the WeeRide.  it really is super cool.  way better than riding in the back, i can see everything!  my dad's 29'er makes for a really smooth ride.  disc brakes make is safe too.

finally my parents got my pink helmet - Pink Bunnies!  i was riding around for a week with a blue one.  dressed in pink wearing a blue helmet???

Gymnastics

 Time for gymnastics!  i was supposed to be in a beginning class, but not enough little babies.  so i got bumped up to the older babies class.
 so close to crawling it is not even funny.  any day now.  any minute actually.
 here i am in the foam pit.   interestingly you cannot wear socks in the foam pit.  the foam blocks will actually suck the socks right off your feet.  no joke.
trampoline!  strangely enough they are called "Eurotramps".  dad thought it was funny anyway...
