Grandma Linda suggested that he could get an elephant, but that the elephant would need a (bear) friend too. So Trevor dutifully went and found elephant another elephant to be friends with. He got over the elephant shortly and ended up with a bear and got a kick out of giving the lady hearts and watching the stuffing machine. The most exciting part was that bear got a little manly blue stroller too (Grandma drew the line at bear getting a car however). He walked bear around the mall for the next hour or so and was completely exhausted by the time we hit the car.
Turns out that my parents' new place is within walking distance to five or more coffee shops(they both did not know or care about this). So John and I got to go out in the mornings for our fancy vacation coffee and we took Trev along some of the time. He was very excited to have his very own coffee (milk in a small coffee cup) and seems to be on the road to paying way too much for beverages in his future.
We made a trip to the zoo where Trevor got to say "hi" to all of the animals without them running away (the usual response when he tries this with birds and cats at home). He found the wolf exhibit fascinating, as he was sure that the three little pigs must live in the little cache. And the bears were also very interesting because one of them pooed. At the end out of all the stuffed animals at the gift shop, he was drawn to a blue snake... there are no snakes at the zoo and I'm not sure where blue snakes live, but I'm sure it's nowhere near AK. But never the less, the snake is pretty cool.
We went to he Teddy Bear Picnic with his new bear and stroller. It was a really good turn out for an almost rainy day. Trev seemed to enjoy the play-doh booth the most and was very suspicious about the life sized bears walking around. However, he was compelled to follow it during the teddy bear parade.
Our trip ended with a longer than necessary flight back because the airport is dumb and the people that work there are dumb. But I digress. We had to take a later flight that stopped in San Francisco instead of going directly to LAX. I think I was the main person put out though--Trevor and John both seemed content with spending the extra hour waits looking at airplanes and talking about how they fly. Trevor was also very impressed by riding a bus to get to our car parking. He's still very interested in flying in airplanes and the first week back he kept asking if we were going on one again--and when we say no, not today his answer is always "Maybe later".
