We proudly attended a local chili contest in Vancouver’s Esther Short park, where our own Mike and Karri brought home an award. We stopped by the local farmer’s market and bought some produce, including my favorite, Gravenstein apples, which have a limited window of availability because they don’t store well once picked. We had Gravensteins on the family farm and I try not to miss a chance to buy them when I find them. I took a bite and of course Zaeda saw me eating and was at my side in seconds, waiting for her turn, so I gave her a bite. Then Oliver saw her eating, and in no time the two were passing my apple back and forth, and though I’d lost my apple, I’d gained an adorable moment.
A Sunday at the World Forestry Center -- that place between the zoo and the children’s museum that we hadn’t been to in years. It was actually a lot of fun. Unlike the other places, the WFC was practically empty, and they had plenty of stuff for the kids to play with.
In general, Oliver and Zaeda are playing together more and more. She’s at a stage where they can have little games together, like hiding in the closet or a bit of wrestling. Recently we had some kid music CD playing in the house, and when it ended, the next CD started and it was “Walkin on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves. The kids immediately started dancing.
