Parents were in town

So right now I'm sitting in Waterloo, IA, at Katie's Mom's place. Before that we were at my parents' place. But before that we were in Sonoma, CA, with my parents, who flew in for the wedding of Dave Rolnitzky and Brittany Glidden. It was a B. R. Cohn winery, and it went off without a hitch! Special thanks to Alex and Laura for babysitting.

When we were in Sonoma we visited Train Town, which is the "most developed scale model train in the Americas" or something. At any rate, it was a good ride--I'd recommend the place to anyone with little kids. The rest of the rides are skippable. Here are my parents on the train.

Here is Finn in the Sonoma jail after a late night of carousing.

The boys had a fun time at the party that Dave and Brittany threw the night before the wedding. Finn did a lot of running around with some other kids. This gives you kind of a flavor. There was also a pinata. And croquet. And much food- and drink-stuffs.

On the last day of the CA trip, we took my parents to the San Francisco Zoo, and this was just awesome:
