Thanksgiving Point and Silver Lake

Last week some friends and I took our kids to $2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point. We saw cows, horses, baby goats, etc.
What is he looking at with such eager fascination? Soaking in all of the educational opportunity his mother is trying to provide him...broadening his viewpoint and expanding his universe? The ducks near by in their pond?
Nope...he is looking at the drain pipe. Or as Jason pointed out, he is "studying the gradient field and optimzation of the hydrodynamic flow paths." Funny what you put before them and what actually interests them. :)

Last Saturday we went as a family up to Silver Lake. It was a perfect day for it and had a nice time strolling along with Jacob,picking up dead pine branches and pine cones. He loved it.






So did we.

Sorry I couldn't make it to Thanksgiving Point. I am kind of a freak...Jenna is in afternoon kindergarted, so I alway think I con't have time for stuff like that in the AM. I need to get over that!

Silver Lake is beautiful and just the right size walk for the little ones.

I just have to say that I totally relate to your mother of the year post. I felt that way when Ryan fell down the entire flight of stairs while I was chatting on the phone with a friend. Never mind the fact that Sammie did the exact same thing when she was a baby. Somehow I didn't learn my lesson. Luckily they are both still alive and don't appear to have any serious injuries. I swear children are made of rubber.
