Maycin...Our 6 Year Old (handsome) Man!

Yesterday, Ashlee, the kids and I went for a drive to a little town called Snelling, and on the way, we always pass a dairy farm with exotic animals. This is a zedonk (zebra/donkey cross).

It was Maycin's first meeting...and the zedonk came right up to the fence.


But...this is the real reason for the whole trip...Henderson Park. A beautiful park with fun playground equipment!


Henderson Park is set right next to the Merced River.


Oh, what a gorgeous day...but very brisk!!


And...Maycin will hold still for about...well...about a nanosecond!! So, you have to be quick on the draw to take photos of him.



Finally when I got him to stop moving around (after all we were at the park where he had acres and acres of area to run), I begged...no I pleaded...no I just whined and whined until I made a deal with him. "Just give me 5 seconds, Maycin...just 5 seconds is all I'm asking." "Okay, Nana! Here's one!!

"Ugh...grrrrrrr...here's two!"

"Here's three! Are we done yet?"


"Here's 4 and 5...I'm out of here!!!"


It's almost cruel to make a 6 year old man be still at a park!
(When Maycin turned 6 on his last birthday, he announced that he was now a 6 year old man!)

It was fun and a nice short get-away. Something I think we all needed. Thanks about the one by the water, but it wasn't a calculated shot...done by pure chance.
