Ditch Days

Now that Anabelle has begun to go to daycare full time, Ernie and I took the opportunity to each take a special "ditch day" with Vita.  On Monday, while Anabelle and I went to work, Ernie and Vita headed out to Dennis the Menace Park in Monterey.  It's a great park with a real train, a hedge maze, swan shaped boats, and really big fun play structures.  It was a little drizzly outside but they had a great time.



After their fun morning at the park, they warmed up by getting a late breakfast at a local diner.  Vita ate chocolate chip pancakes, with hot chocolate with whipped cream!


On Tuesday, while Ernie went to work and Anabelle went to school, Vita and I headed out to a local mini zoo called Happy Hallows.  Vita loved the merry go round.

Actually, Vita loved ALL the rides!



At the petting zoo, Vita got to pet some cute little goats, and they ate some food right out of Vita's hand.

Vita insisted on posing with this frog.

Then it was back to the merry go round a few more times before we headed back home.
