North LOVED waiting at the station and giving the conductor his ticket.
Sky loved the window. He was a great train traveler!
We walked eight blocks to the waterfront and ate our lunch.
North slept.
Skyler ate his lunch.
We crossed the street to the museum.
We played for hours! There was so much to do! Police cars, fire trucks, motorcycles, and tractors to climb on as well as slides, face painting, arts and crafts (we didn't even go in that room!), water play, magnet play and hospital exploration. At the hospital, we saw an x-ray of a finger with a fishing hook stuck in it. North and I spent a long time talking and looking at the picture. I hope it all sunk in!
We walked back to a train station and headed home. On the way home, Aunt Leslie suggested a train treat: ice cream!
Pageo Lavender Farm
North liked looking for the bees on the flowers. He noticed that the bees were fuzzy and worked hard. We smelled many of the flowers to compare the scents of the different types of lavender. Most of the flowers were just beginning to open. I can just imagine the smell of the farm during the height of summer!
A table full of dried lavender flowers! I would love to have this as a touch and scoop table at preschool. I bet the days would be very relaxing....
North loves hanging out in Nana's cherry tree.
The ground under the cherry tree is littered with half-eaten cherries and pits. North loves to spit.
Skyler exploring Mom's courtyard. Sky really likes to move. Have I mentioned that before?
Umm Skyler? Perhaps no one has told you the drowning stories involving babies and buckets. Maybe you should mellow out with the water play.
