Nature and science

Lila and I try to explore the world as much as we can each day. Since the world is so big I have created different themed days so we have a focus. But its always okay to get sidetracked.
Last Tuesday we had science day.
It started by getting an up close look at a Stacey park squirrel.
After Ll's nap we headed to the Austin Nature and Science center. Henry and his mommy had recommended it to us. When I saw the Dino pit I instantly remembered it from childhood. Lila had a great time exploring the center. We saw a bobcat (she called it kitty kitty and snapped her fingers at him) and a few ducks. We got to explore a little cave and some animal furs. They have a few owls. Lila loved the owls! We went to look at them a couple of times per her request. It was a bit hot out but we still had Dino bones to discover. We dug a bit in the Dino pit, had a snack break, and took one last look at the owls and bobcat before we headed home to cool off and take another nap.

4th of July...

We decided to catch a bus and walk to the firework show at auditorium shores. Our house is so close.
We had about an hour or so to wait so we got a concession dinner (one good one weird and not so great). We found a spot and put our blanket down.
We kept ourselves entertained NAND then dada when and got a snow cone which kept us entertained a little loner. It was dusty and crowded. Lila and I had been talking about fireworks all day. When the show started Lila said "wow" with us a few times... Then said no no and let out a cry. We quickly gathered our things and started walking back home. She did not like those fireworks.

Andrew!!

Lila loves unkie Andrew so much. Say his name and she lights up. Andrew spent a couple of days with us last week and Lila and I loved every second of it!

Fathers day 2012

Lila and I made a chalk message on the porch and steps in the morning. Lila gave dada a rock she painted. And then we surprised daddy with a grill.
We had lunch out and went to the pool. Then we headed to Round Rock to watch the Express play. We sat on the lawn and had a great time. Lila entertained the family behind us. (and a few beside is too!) We shared a huge hot dog and got some junk food too. Lila had a great time playing in the grass and watching the bugs. She clapped along with the crowd and danced to the music. They played Raffi "the more we get together" and she lit up! "again again" she signed and said. Sweet Lila. She also loved "everybody clap your hands" maybe she thought everyone was clapping for her, I bet some were! :)
Happy fathers day!
