Sulwen and parents
We took the opportunity to spend a few days in Timber Cove earlier this month.
There is already an Animoto show on
Sulwen's Blog, and here are
some overlapping and nonoverlapping pictures and information. We arrived there
on the 17th. Early the next morning, Sulwen is playing with a toy that mirrors
her favorite time: Birthday. Here she is playing with her new
birthday cake toy,
including a cake, a cake server, candles, candies. Other favorite things
are bracelets and headbands.
A little later Amelia and I took Wicket and Millie (see
Millie's blog) on a walk around
the circle and noticed this
habitat created by an
upside down stump (big 'un); it even has trees growing on "top" of it. When we
came back we admired Sulwen's
play structure, from
both directions. Later
in the morning we went up to the Ft. Ross School to the Farmer's Market, which
also featured other interesting things. Here Sulwen is making friends with
a large dog, while I'm
more interested in the
antique washing machines.
I tried out the
"one man bucksaw" (there's another, better, picture on
Sulwen's blog posting for October
25, 2009, but even on that one I didn't finish the log. I know that last
dog actually looked like a sheep, but they also had a
sheepdog demonstration,
with the dogs demonstrating great
patience and stealth.
That afternoon we had a little
pumpkin carving
demonstration, bearing in mind that this is halloween month. At last, the
top is off. Not too
surprising, the sun is soon setting out over the
Pacific Ocean, midst
some low level fog. After dark we light the
jack-o-lantern and
Sulwen admires it. The next day we carved another, smaller, happier
jack-o-lantern that
Sulwen seemed to
like a lot. There
was a lot of
this going on over the long
weekend.
Back home again on Tuesday, very happy to have made the trip.
