farewell to zach

Amy's coworker Zach got a new job, and invited us to his going away party at Martis's place. This is more or less how the day went.

After dinner, most everyone went kayaking. Even the pregnant people!


Ender loved being near the water, and loved being near mommy even more.


But he loved scratching out daddy's eyes most of all!


This precious moment brought to you by the numbers Two, π, and the letter C.
Get it... C... Sea!


Carefree lighthearted moments like this almost make you forget all about that terrible pun under the last picture... almost.


Nothing says "Father & Son Bonding Time" like sitting next to a body of water, especially when you're also sitting next to an interesting puddle on the dock.


In our ongoing effort to desensitize Ender to his fear of all plant life, we introduced him to some poofy blue flowers.


We also took his grass-fear training to the next level, and tossed him in the really tall beach grass a few times.


Amy showed Ender around Martis's garden.


He even tried to pull some minnows out of her little stream.


Ender showed off his new standing skills for everyone.


After a long day out in the sun, a nap with Martis was the perfect way to wind down before the long trip home.
