Sophia and Avery

VBS was only 4 hours/day (although my mind was occupied with thoughts or preparations for many more hours), so there was still plenty of time to watch Sophia and Avery on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Avery built a transformer Lego with wheels and wings. He demonstrated all its many functions.DSC02229Carson is now able to roll over! DSC02226DSC02230Sophia created this sign so you don’t have to lock the bathroom door. When you go in, just pull in the sign with you. It hangs outside when no one is inside. DSC02271

Sophia and Avery

This week, Sophia had golf camp at Teal Bend Golf Course. DSC01888She was really hoping for an opportunity to drive a golf cart, but I think this is as close as she got.DSC01892Meanwhile Avery did some butterfly stalking. Although he’s a fast runner, he’s still slower than butterflies.DSC01890

“Grandmas are squishy”

DSC01720Avery thinks my arms are soft and squishy, especially under the upper arm. As I buckled him into his car seat, he said, “Grandmas are squishy.” Yes I am. We were off to Old Sacramento today after summer school. I was curious how two passengers on a Yuba Mundo would work. IMG_0409We had to stop at the turtle place.DSC01723At Miller Park, the fire department was getting ready for drills on the water.DSC01726Everyone’s getting more comfortable on the Yuba Mundo, me too.DSC01728Back at the house, Sophia practiced selfies with my camera.DSC01738

Sophia, Old Sac, and a Yuba Mundo

Today, I picked up only Sophia at Leah’s and went for a little adventure in Old Sacramento. We rented a Yuba Mundo bicycle – a great family bicycle – at Practical Cycle.IMG_0392We rode to Miller Park.
