Zane was very excited to carve his own pumpkin this year and to be able to use a knife, not sure Mom and Pop were as excited as him.
He really didn't want to stick his hand inside to clean out the guts

All done

For Casey's birthday we celebrated with cake while my brother and his family were here for the weekend. Casey, Zac and Keanan made a few trips down the mountain bike trails that are around Hartland. Zane also enjoyed playing with his cousins.
I had fun making Casey his super chocolate cake

Zane and Kyla made a teeter-totter
Another celebration for Casey's birthday was the three of us climbing out to the end of Big Baldy. Last year for his birthday we went to a closer section but this time we made it all the way to the end. It was an almost 7 mile round trip and Zane did 6 of those miles on his own two feet. He is turning into a great hiker and mountain climber.
Big Baldy that we see on our way up the mountain. We hiked all the way out to the lower nob(if you are able to zoom in you can see that there is a higher and lower nob)

Casey put Zane in the carrier for safety, it was a long ways down on both sides

A rugged old pine that was so much larger than all the others
Zane and I got to spend some time at the Fresno Zoo, while Casey ran some errands around town. The dinosaurs were at the zoo for a limited time and Zane loved them, especially the ones that spit water at you.
