Getting the mail

Everyday Zack and I take a trip to the mailbox around 5:00...the time Zack is done with the day but not ready for bed or dinner.  It's a great time of day to go out around the apartment because it's the time people get home from work and walk their dogs...or "daw" as Z-man says.  He loves dogs.  Not touching them but getting close to them and barking at them ("pffff" is his version of woof).  As they walk away usually because the owner figures: ok...this kid really doesn't want to be near this dog...and Zack chases it.  No we will not buy him a dog!

I think the trade off for having a small living space and play area is having the biggest sandbox ever!  And is there a better time to stop and play in the sand than when you are on the way to pick up the mail.

 I can't believe this picture actually turned out alright...you can see we have the same eyes, smile and crazy hair.

 Zack is a big helper.  He always carries my keys.  At first I was afraid to let him thinking he would throw them and I would be stuck somewhere but he holds on to those keys for dear life.  He will even hold the keys through a whole grocery trip. 

I really don't need to check the mail everyday because all our bills are electronic but I enjoy our 30 minute (should be about 30 seconds) daily trip to the mailbox.
