Junkyard

Some people go to Six Flags. We go to Jaakko's junkyard.

More Texas Fun

We are ready to get back to Papa, but having lots of fun in the meanwhile. Zig and his cousins, Zig and the city of Huntsville workers who have been letting him hang out with them ALL DAY today, and finally, an arcade game at Walmart that is broken, thankfully.

Good Times with Patrick

Zig met up with his buddy Patrick at the Lighthouse Park in Mukilteo. It was a really windy day, but they had a great time. I didn't get many pictures because I was so cold...

We hung out with a bunch of other buddies, too, and Zig and I are holding out hope that we'll be back someday in the not-too-distant future.

Grandfather's Lessons in Telephone Destruction

Too bad you can only see Dedo's arm in these pictures. He really enjoyed helping Zig figure this out.

March on Catalina Island

We took a ferry out to Catalina Island from Long Beach and spent the day exploring. Zig and his babushka played pirates in this cave.

A huge agave cactus at the Botanical Garden

Here is Zig with his Dedo at Franklin Park. The sunglasses are from his babushka.

This picture is from back in February before Zig came down with pneumonia. He's using his skis as ramps for his matchbox cars. A very Ziggy idea.
