Here they are all set for a walk. Samuel is dressed up at his character Tech 4 and Eva has one of her favorite babies, Water Baby (because you fill her up with water). I am actually happy they ended up not taking all of this gear on the walk because it can get a little loaded down sometimes. I am also glad I got a picture of this before we went to the woods because if I had waited I wouldn't have gotten it! The Tech 4 outfit inspired a discussion on "How is it that Jango Fett can walk around with all of the gear without getting tired and all of this gear is wearing ME out?" You can see how many ways this conversation could go. We decided that Jango probably has had a lot of time to figure out which gear is light and usable and a lot of it is a part of his clothing, like the rocket launchers and aren't just hanging down, etc. You get the idea.
And here is a lovely banana slug. The photo doesn't do its yellow color justice. This guy is about two inches long and you can see he did not want his picture taken, nor did he like the flash, because he is all scrunched up and hiding his antennae. I'll bet he was relieved when we left.
Here are Samuel (red), Eva (purple) and Jack (black) on our walk today.
Eva, Samuel and Jack climbing around. They like to use Jack's leash as a mountain climbing rope and sort of propel themselves down into ravines and such. Then they use it to haul one another (or I use it to haul them) up the hills. Sometimes it would be easier just to climb up but using the leash lends a certain feel that is missing without it.
And here I took a picture outside on our patio. Eva wrote her name! Can you see the E and the V (upside down) and the A? How exciting! She has been very big on letters lately, picking out E's everywhere we go. There's an E and there's an E... I found the letters E, V and A in the car where she left them yesterday. EVA is everywhere! She has been working on E's for a while and today was the first time she put them all together like that.
