This afternoon we decided at the last minute to go for a hike up Tiger Mountain. It’s a short but steep hike up to the bluff where the paragliders launch. Lindsey and I took turns carrying Avery in the backpack. He did pretty well though the backpack must get boring after a while. It certainly gets heavy after a while. At the top there were tons of people milling around waiting to launch their gliders.

Last week I was in Texas visiting the grandparents. I had to work most of the week but still managed to enjoy some time in the pool. The first couple days Avery seemed somewhat indifferent about being in the water. Towards the end of the week he was having a great time splashing about and stepping off the ledge in the hot tub, knowing very well that Mommy would catch him.

On Sunday we ventured into the city to check out the Fremont Fair. We missed the naked bicyclist parade which was on Saturday, though somehow I think all the crazy costumes would be scary for a one-year-old.

He missed out on an elephant ear.

This guy looked pretty bored in his empty booth.
