We survived a shark party, strange encounters with exotic peacocks, fun times with relatives and friends, park outings, an afternoon tea party, and slip n' slides, to name a few. We had a great time and here is a sample of what we did.
Jackson's Shark Party!
Kasey did an awesome job! There was yummy food, cute decorations, and lots of activities for all 99 kids in attendance.
These two bottom feeders ate most of the baked Cheetos and gummy sharks before the guests arrived.
O.K.... Maybe I had some involvement too.
Kasey's homemade shark cake.
And yes, as per Jackson's request, the inside of the cake was pink.
The next day we made it over to the world famous Folsom Zoo, where the kids observed amazing animals while being stalked by beautiful, semi-aggressive peacocks.
Olive riding a rare, long haired, albino, mini elephant.
Oh wait, that's my mom. (Also semi-aggressive.)
Parched from all the zoo activities, we headed over to Sutter St. to partake in a delightful afternoon tea at ParTea Time.
Dressed in vintage hats, feather boas, and gloves, we dined on fine tea cakes (tuna on expired wheat bread) and sipped fine tea and lemonade (a wheat grass and cauliflower flavored beverage and imitation Country Time). It was a memorable afternoon!
Jackson was heaven.
Shoulder length, velvet gloves.... the boy has exquisite taste.
Miss Sue...
What a lady.
Mr. Riley Scott...
What a lady.
So special.
So very special.
After tea, Olive and Jackson broke in Jackson's new slip n' slide.
What a pro!

Apparently, not a huge fan of the slip n' slide, that Olive.
When we returned home, Rob surprised us with tickets to an Angel Game!
It was yet another wonderful and eventful trip with a nice homecoming. I just love visiting my sister and the boys and also love coming home to my boy (especially when baseball stadium food is involved).
