Spray Ground

We finally got a chance to get outside once the smoke had lessened, so we headed to the spray ground. 

Title?

A couple of ideas came to mind when trying to decide on a title for this post:

1) All by Myself

2) Stripes

Either way, it's pretty clear that Eva G got dressed all by herself this morning and went with a definite theme

Father's Day

Father's Day weekend around here included:

fishing

fun

and 

frozen firsts

(it was such a hot day and the ice cream truck came rolling down our street in the evening--Eva's first time getting a treat from there)

FunFest

Saturday we headed downtown for the FunFest

we hadn't planned on Eva G actually going in the fountain, which was turned on for the season that day, but it was hard to resist when everyone else was doing it and it was getting quite warm. luckily, we had an extra change of clothes with us

 getting a caterpillar tattoo (the real one we found met his demise last week)

 hugging one of the many characters running around. we also saw Clifford, but no Curious George

 watching the man make our crepes for lunch

enjoying a yummy lunch after a fun morning

Bartleby Finkleton

We had a lot of fun today at one of the library's summer reading programs. We got to listen to Steve Weeks. Eva G loves his song, Bartleby Finkleton. We watch the video a few times a week. When Eva saw him, her eyes lit up and she said, "It's Bartleby Finkelton!" He sang lots of songs for the group, but didn't actually sing Bartleby at this performance. Afterwards, we talked with him for a bit and mentioned that Eva and cousin S were Bartleby fans. He then graciously offered to play a few verses for them acoustically!! It was so cool!! They really liked it and Eva mouthed the words right along with him. When daddy got home she told him we saw Bartleby's dad (which is how she now refers to Mr. Weeks). :) It was such a fun day and we're looking forward to more programs in the next few weeks.

Mountains and Dunes

Our Memorial Day weekend included some time in the mountains, where it was still cold enough that we saw a few patches of snow and ice in the small waterfalls of spring runoff. We also spent some time in some serious sand dunes where the water was cool and the sand was hot.
