Trevor is in Italy

Well, Poppa is away for two weeks.  We are sad and miss him but we've been trying to do some fun things while he is away.  Gram and I took Otto to the LA Zoo for the first time.  It was pretty hot and sunny but we found a little shade in the petting zoo and indoors while looking at the small animals.  Otto LOVES meerkats...and they love him!  I stood him up to the glass and he ran right up to him and he giggled "heh heh heh!"  We watched them for about 10 minutes with out Otto getting board at all.  It was sooooo much fun.   Gram took a photo of us petting a sheep.  Otto wasn't too interested-he prefers the little guys.  CC came over today with her kitty and again Otto laughed and laughed.  We have got to get this baby a pet.  He still loves to drive so when we went to go get burritos for dinner I ran in and Otto and Gram got in the front seat and played with the wheel and mirrors.  The first photo was taken when I came out of the restaurant-Otto was hanging out the window having a ball.  When Trevor left I took Otto into his room to play with the globe and to point out where his Dad was going to be for the next couple of weeks.  He really enjoys spinning it around.  And the final picture was taken in the park when Otto was just about to go down the slide.  He was contemplative because it is a pretty big drop and I usually go with him.  He was never that excited about the slide until this week.  Now he loves it and gets sad when I take him away.  What a brave little guy!
