Annual Alameda Trip in April

 For the past couple of years, the Penner clan has packed up and headed to Alameda (across the bay from San Francisco) and entrusted our weekend to the schedule Christy and Aaron have planned!  It is always a blast!  This year, we left Friday afternoon and arrived in time for a sushi FEAST!!! Blake and Christy were hilarious... if only I could eat raw sushi, I would have been right there with them!  Lets just say there was a bit left over.

 It may look like we finished it off, but there was just no way!
 On Saturday morning, we headed to the Oakland Zoo.  It was beautiful, warm and a fun day! Jed absolutely loved seeing the animals.  They were all out and active!  We saw the little bear in the background snoozing away.  Mommy bear was climbing up the structure which was about 25 feet in the air.  So fun!
 Monkeys... Jed learned to say "monkey"... "ooh, ooh, eeh, eeh, aah, aah"... it was fun to see him connect the books with the real animals!

 The petting zoo.  Jed wasn't the hugest fan for whatever reason.  Maybe next year!
 Male bonding!!
 A man after my own heart... Jed loves washing his hands.  it is so cute!  He kept going back for more!
 On Sunday, uncle Aaron picked a fabulous park for the kids to play in and we enjoyed sitting back and relaxing!  Thanks again for a wonderful weekend!
