Birthday Weekend at Papa's

Playing soccer in the giant tube tunnel in Papa's living room.

Danni showed Papa all of the animals in her book...

The REAL animals were mellow and well-behaved!

Sparkle liked playing in the balls...

Speckle did too!

Papa got us a kid-sized table and chairs ...  we decorated his calendar for him.

Hmmm...  Am I gonna be a lefty??

Someone dropped off a whole bunch of birthday stuff for me at Papa's house!!!

And for Danni too!

A wall-denter....  I mean, a Tonka Dump Truck!  (Uncle Paul used to LOVE this toy!!)

Auntie Lynn got Danni a bike...  Danni helped Papa with the construction.

She loves to be in on all of the action!

Auntie Lynn got me a tractor that you can take apart... I showed Danni how it was done!

Danni got a shopping cart!

Sparkle was tired out from all of the birthday madness and found a nice sunny napping spot!

I love my ball scooper!

Mommy had to get a picture before telling me never to do this again. 

Danni was pretty pleased with the final product!

Papa showed her how to ride!

Speckle seemed to like his ride on the scooper!

Sparkle is special.  He has 2 extra toes on each front paw, and one on the back.  I still love him.

Speckle enjoyed exploring Papa's patio!

I test drove Danni's bike too! 

Papa and Danni like watching me play soccer....

Papa's got some skills!

Danni was the goal keeper!

Papa's house had a hill -- I LOVED it... all of the parks by our house are flat...  This took soccer to a whole new level!

Danni liked doing her 'airplane run' down the hill!

Danni and Papa chased me!

Birthday breakfast!  (Only at Papa's!)

Fire + ice cream cake = Happy Zashi!

I STILL love the leaf blower!

'It makes the leaves go CRAZY!'

I love helping with yard work!

Danni and Papa liked looking at the leaves that I didn't destroy!

Danni liked being out of the blower zone!

Is she gonna be into technology like her Papa?

As part of the birthday tour, my first stop was at Papa's house in Ventura.  I had an awesome time exploring and destroying Papa's place.  Papa and Auntie Lynn surprised Danni and I with all kinds of birthday loot!!!  I LOVED the tractors that I got...  Mommy and Daddy are hoping that I will soon focus more on CONstruction and less on DEstruction!  :)  I also got some new soccer stuff, so we played a soccer game behind Papa's house!  Danni and I were SUPER tired after a full Saturday of fun, so we had to go to bed early and missed having birthday ice cream cake.  But, guess what I came down to the next morning?  A piece of cake with four fires in it!!!  Yum!  Before we left, Danni and I helped Papa clean his yard.  I manned the blower, of course!  I was mad when we had to leave!  But 'I was so happy because Papa made a birthday for me!'  Thank you Papa, I love you!!
