Sunday Fun

On Sunday, Janie got to see Ankong and Ama.  They were in town for the day and it was filled with lots of fun and family time.

The day started at a restaurant overlooking the ocean and beach.  Janie sat by the window with Ankong and had fun coloring before the food arrived.

When it was time to eat, Janie got lots of bacon and avocado off of Ama’s salad.  It’s funny how similar they look in this photo.

After lunch, she took them to the zoo, which was down the street.  She showed them where the giraffes and zebras live.

We also tried out the backpack’s leash feature for a little while.

It works well as long no one comes between the grown-up and the kid.

Kaylee got a close-up look at a monkey today.

She also said “hello” to all the penguins.

We took her to the playground before heading home.

She has outgrown the 0-2 years section and moved up to the 2-5 years section.

This turtle ride wasn’t much of a ride.  It doesn’t rock back and forth!  Bummer.

On the way home, she took a pretty good nap.  When we got home, she tried to go back to sleep but there was too much excitement.  So, while some of the grown-ups took their own naps, she played with Ankong and Ama.

For dinner, we went out for Chinese food.  She likes having Uncle Jason hold her.  Her preferred position is “the perch”.  Uncle got a good upper arm workout that evening.

She ate lots and lots of tasty food this evening.  She really worked up an appetite today!  I think she managed to finish 2 bowls of soup today in addition to all the other stuff on the table.

Janie had a wonderful 9 hours with her grandparents today.  Also, thank you for the art set, Ama!!

Indian Dinner

IMG_0083

Auntie Jia and Uncle Jason came over for dinner tonight. Yay!  It had been almost a month since we last saw them.

IMG_0073

Instead of going out, we ordered Indian food and had it delivered.  Janie had a good helping of palak paneer with basmati rice. What a good eater!

After dinner, Janie gave Uncle Jason a back massage and was pretty proud of herself too.

Back to SF

Daddy, Auntie Jia, and Uncle Jason drove Janie back up to SF today.  They gave her an “A” for this car ride and sent Mommy some pictures from her day.

IMG_7020

This is what she looked like in the morning.  It looked like she really partied with Ankong and Ama last night.

IMG_7021

Then it was time to get dressed and packed up for the ride home.

IMG_7022

She took one last walk with Ankong before getting strapped into the car seat.

IMG_7023

First stop was Chick-fil-A.  Yum!

IMG_7024

She had mostly her own food but got to dip a waffle fry into some ketchup too.

IMG_7025

She napped a long time in the car.  She didn’t sleep much this weekend.

IMG_7027

Then she shared a special frozen treat with Daddy.  Mommy was so jealous.
