Our Hot Weekend

This weekend has been 80+ degrees and so we took advantage of it.  Saturday we went to Mukilteo beach and met up with some friends.  Those friends just happened to be my old boss Julia and her son, the little boy I used to nanny, Xander.  They hadn't seen Zachary since he was 2 months old and we had been wanting to meet up for a while.  We had planned on meeting around 11 am, but Zach had a rough night so we didn't get to the beach until almost noon.

Julia had a blanket already set up on the beach and they had gone ahead and ate their lunch.  There was a bucket next to them with three little crabs in it.  They had explored a little and found the crabs under a rock at low tide.







We watched the ferries come and go a few times and Xander showed Zach where the ferry was.  At one point Xander put his hat on top of the hat that Zachary had on his head.  Zachary did NOT like that at all and we had to take it off before he had a meltdown.



Xander put his Chuck E.Cheese bracelet on Zachary's arm and thought it was so funny.  He asked me if I could get a picture of it and, of course, I did.



We went to the playground so Xander could get some energy out.  He had been wanting to go play for a while.  Julia pushed Zachary in the swing for a little bit and he wasn't sure about it at first, but was fine once he got used too it.  He kept wanting to eat the metal sides and got mad when I wouldn't let him.  Xander played on the climbing toys  and had fun showing me what he could do.








I put Zachary inside a wooden play toy that is meant for kids to sit in.  He thought he was so cool looking out the holes in the sides.  Julia was on one side and Louis was on the other.





We headed home around 2:30 in the afternoon and let Zach take a nap because he was really tired.  We headed out to a few stores when he woke up because I knew of a few good deals that were going on.  One of the places we went was Babies R Us because they had a great sale on Babyganics baby wipes when you bought a box of diapers of the same brand.  It's one of our favorite brands of diapers and we kind of wanted to try out the wipes.

While we were there, Louis and I had a little bit of fun trying some hats on Zachary, but he wasn't too thrilled about it.  You can't really tell from the picture though because he was trying to get the camera.




We also looked at a few clothes that were for the 1st birthday because, let's face it, he will be one in 3.5 months.  Is that crazy or what?!  The formal one was cute but we kind of liked the fun one too.  I guess we'll have to see how we feel as his birthday gets closer.




While I'm on the subject of his birthday, I would just like to add that we also looked at the toys to get an idea of what we could get him when it comes around.  He has no idea what's coming to him, but he loved seeing all the toys!



And that was just Saturday.  Sunday we went to the grandparent's house for dinner and Zach got to see all his cousins.  I didn't get too many pictures because he was facing away from me most of the time, but these are two of the ones I did get.  He is playing with his cousin Charlotte in the first picture and eating a Fisher Price cow in the second.
