We went to Happy Hollow Park & Zoo in San Jose on Thursday with some of Max’s Junior Kindergarten classmates. This was their Winter Break week.

Max had the opportunity to pet a baby hedgehog! So cute!! Max was petting him in the wrong direction so the Zoo volunteer had to correct him; however, it turns out that a hedgehog is not related to a porcupine and they don’t have quills.

We went to the Los Gatos Town Plaza this morning to meet some friends to play in the water fountain

I talked her into pig tails to keep her hair out of her eyes

Will, Max & Luke shivering at the fountain.  It hadn’t quite warmed up yet to the 85 degrees it was suppose to be today.

We went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk yesterday (Tuesday, July 6th) to celebrate Max’s good buddy Will’s 5th Birthday! 

Max & Will went to Little Oak Preschool together for 3 years straight.  First as Red Birds then Green Frogs then Polar Bears.  They just graduated last month from preschool; however, they will be attending Junior Kindergarten together at Almaden Country School in the Fall.

Jarren, friend, and little bro, Luke

The boys had a fabulous time together!

Little Miss Em also attended.  She rode all the rides solo, but she wasn’t the slightest bit phased!  She had a great time running solo!

Today was a special day.  My mom (a.k.a. Nana) attended Max’s First Art Show @ Little Oak Preschool with us in April 2008.  She was energetic, vibrant & happy!  I will never forget that day!  This is the second art show without her in this world.  It’s a special day as I remember her beaming as she looked at her youngest grandson’s art displayed.  I only wish she would’ve been here with me today.  My dear dear Mama … you are always on my mind & in my heart.  Life hasn’t been the same without you.
