grandparentals.

levi's parents originally were supposed to go on a fabulous trip with us to Big Sur for his break. but then he went and decided that he needs to be an oral surgeon and do lots of extra stuff {i'm not a little bitter about not having a spring break, obviously} so we cancelled our trip and just stuck around here with them, so they could see levi for a few moments. 

unfortunately, he spent most of his free weekend sick, so that was thrilling. but i'm sure they enjoyed seeing him for the couple times they did. 

we started their time here, by taking them to off the grid in fort mason. so fun. zak absolutely loved it. he's a people person, what can i say. 

and then of course, grandma needed her sundae from ghiradelli's, so we definitely couldn't pass that goodness up. that sounds delicious right now. i need my spouse to get home with our food! 

on saturday, levi and his parents drove ferrari's around candlestick park while i went to breakfast with some friends and their kids, i don't have any pictures from that obviously, but they enjoyed themselves. 

to make it somewhat of a vacay, we went to the beach house and showed grandpa and grandma our favorite spots. like phil's fish market. the most amazing clam chowder, and any other type of seafood you could want. 

sunday we made the effort to go to church, but it was stake conference, so instead we went to the santa cruz boardwalk. it was nice and warm. and minus zak wanting to go on every ride that we didn't want to pay for {i can't believe it starts this young!} it was awesome! we had funnel cake, pretzels and tons of delicious things. love me some warm weather. 

 levi left to go work at an oral surgeon's office for his externship at 5:00 monday morning, so we stayed at the beach house and played for a bit, before deciding to go to the outlets and head home so we could spend more time with levi. 

this was the best part of the outlets. the troller car. his face. haha. 

needless to say, our children were not totally thrilled shopping. but they were such good troopers. love them. 

after we went to a japanese cook it in front of you place for dinner, we came home and surprised zak and levi with a mini birthday party so they could celebrate with grandpa and grandma. it was pretty fun, both had no idea, so that's always a treat ;) 

as you can tell, zak was super stoked. they got him some sports things to make him a more well rounded child. haha

we tried to dye eggs with grandpa, but the interest was lacking. probably due to the four days in a row zak went without a nap because we were doing such fun things. by the end of their trip, he was whiny, tired, cranky, and whiny. 

we spent the next three days recovering from their fabulous trip here, and getting our lives back on schedule so mom doesn't want to kill everyone by 4:00 ;) so fun to have adventures with grandma and grandpa though, if only we could see them more often!
