Sledding

As you can tell from the photos, Zach didn't like sledding very much.  Although it may be his dad's fault.

Christmas in AZ (posted a little late!)

A few pictures of us finally visiting Arizona (Sedona, Jerome, Cottonwood and Phoenix), Zach's first trip there!

Blizzard of '13

Zach and us managed to survive the Blizzard of 2013 relatively unscathed.  There were 2 feet to shovel, but other than that, we came out ok!  Here's the before picture from yesterday, last night when we were less than halfway through, and the picture of him playing on the porch while we shoveled today.  Also, here's a picture of him relaxing on his Radio Flyer toy between outdoor sessions.

Leaf Peeping

We went to NH for leaf peeping.  Turns out MA seems to have better leaves this late in the season!  We went to Rhododendron State Park to end our visit.  We need to come back in mid-July when the flowers are in full bloom.  I tried a new Zach carrier...doesn't appear I can get him in this contraption alone!!  Zach was amused with the setup...Mom felt like her shoulder was being ripped off - it may need to be returned.

Below is Dad and Zach in our backyard...Jason was tired from hauling concrete and other miscellaneous items to our dumpster (hopefully the dumpster is temporary and not a permanent fixture in our parking area!).

Apple Picking

We had competing apple picking sponsored events...an event for Deaf Children and one for Deaf Blind Children on the same day!  We chose to go to both.  This worked out well as Zach fell asleep  at Berlin Orchards (pics 1-2).  Luckily he perked up at Shelburne Farm in Stow (pics 3-4).
