Happy Hollow

With only a few days left before James starts school again, we are trying to make the most of our family time and do lots of fun things. On Tuesday we decided to check out Happy Hollow Park and Zoo in San Jose. For you Sacramento folks, this is like a mixture of the Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town and Funderland all wrapped up into one amazing park. We had a blast together and might even get a season pass to this awesome place!

T and me, ready for the adventure to begin!

James and I tell T a story everynight as a part of his bedtime routine. His story is always about Doug the Dragon and the adventure T and Ev go on with him. Well, here is T on the carousel riding none other than Doug the Dragon!

The petting zoo. He was actually really brave with the animals.

By far the best part of the day for T was the car ride. I kid you not, he went on this ride at least 10 times. He really loved being in the fire truck (because of the bells on the fire trucks) but he would settle for the police car too!

The AWESOME park area.

T was oober brave and climbed across the rope bridge. It was incredibly high and he was incredibly adventurous.

The zoo was small, but perfect for a two-year-old. He especially loved to see the monkeys and the macaw's. He tried to speak to them both in their own languages! He really is growing up.

Everett was a saint of a baby. He was either sleeping peacefully in his stroller...

...or he was smiling and being cute. I love that kid an awful lot!

Anyway, Happy Hollow got a perfect 10 in our book. Hopefully we'll be visiting their again sometime soon!
