Trains at the Zoo

Mom and Dad took me to the Zoo during the holiday to see Little Puffer the train. Funny thing is I love watching it, but I am scared to death riding it. You can see I was a little scared riding the train, but Dad tried to make me feel better along the way. It was the longest 5 minutes of my life

Xmas at the Zumsteg House

We also went to see Grandma and Grandad Zumsteg for Christmas. Knowing how I love trains, the had there train all set up when I came over, and I also liked the clapping Christmas town they had set up. I always enjoy playing silly games with Grandad and showing Grandma how cute I am. And thanks for all my really nice presents, Santa seems to make multiple stops.

Xmas at the Haas House

We all went out to Lagunitas for Christmas Eve and day this year. As you know, its all about trains for me. When I got out there I built not just one, but two Brio train setups to keep me entertained and then Santa brought me this really cool large train I can push around or ride in. It even has a real bell that I can ring while I push it. Word has it that Grandma and Dad help put this thing together, but Santa delivered it. I also received lots of other nice presents, some that even had nothing to do with trains. It was really great Christmas

Turtles

One of my new favorite thing is Turtle's. I love seeing the pre-historic looking ones in the Swap at the Academy of Sciences. I also like the little ones as well, also at the Academy. This is a picture of one of the little ones. For those that do not know, I go to the Academy of Sciences at least four times a week whether Mom and Dad like it or not. Any time we get within about five blocks of the place, I start chanting "gator" which means take me to the academy!

Visiting Great Grandad

I went over to visit Great Grandad Zumsteg for Xmas...He was doing really well, my only complaint is he has a new motorized chair so I cant push him around quite like I used to. But it was still good to see him and I think he liked seeing me.

Making a Gingerbread House

Mom and Dad took me to Mom's old school (also where Mom and Dad were married) to build a gingerbread house...I was actually pretty good at it, we finished the entire thing, and I only ate about 5-10 piece of candy

Trains again

Again, I really like trains, and the exhibit at the Conservatory of Flowers with the trains going through the flowers and the city of San Francisco really get's me excited. I can watch this thing for hours at a time.

Cable Cars

Mom and Dad are pretty great about trying to find things to do that I like. As everyone knows, I am obsessive about anything that resembles a train. This can be trolleys, trains, cable cars, hay rides any of that is good with me. On Sunday Mom and Dad topped themselves by taking me to ATT park and I was the only kid there. I was amazed to go around the corner and see they had a real live cable car! I didn't have to fight tourists to get on, or anything like that, I had it all to myself. To top it off, they actually had a working bell I could ring forever.

They also had some great slides I could use and then Mom and Dad took me to Taylor's where I can sit outside, eat French Fries with Oski and watch all the old trolley's go by. It was a great day, so good that I even finally took a nap for the first time in a week.
