field trip

Exhausted after spending over three hours with the kids at the Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge in Alviso today. It was a class trip for S. and they did a great program for the kids. We picnicked after the program and walked around more with some of his friends. Lots of birds and so, so many California poppies. It was just beautiful out there today. S. bought a spotted owl finger puppet as a souvenir and told us it was a "Western Plant Owl" because he likes all the plants. He had a great time, and L. did OK. I had to keep L. in the stroller a good chunk of the time as we were walking on boardwalks with drop offs to water and it would be nearly impossible to keep him under control and safe while walking on his own. After the trip S. had swim lessons and now we are home, finally. Waiting for ptor to get home and I think we are going out to eat tonight.

Long couple of days, long week. I need a break.

Poppies

It is poppy season here. So, so gorgeous!
