Zach Likes Motorcycles

Our neighbors let Zach "ride" their scooter when it'sparked across the street.



During a neighborhood block party, Zach got to sit onthe motorcycle cop's bike. He was in heaven. He was riding hisSkuut, which is why he has his helmet on.

Instrument Petting Zoo w/ the SF Symphony

Over the 4th of July weekend we met up with our friends Ramona, Mark and Emi & Sarah, Larry and Atti at Stern Grove for a picnic and to listen to the SF Symphony. Zach's favorite part was the "instrument petting zoo" beforehand, where he got to play the trumpet, violin, clarinet and drum. His favorite was the trumpet and drum. He's got the mad music skillz.
