Not so much travel lately

Gosh, I just realized we haven't been going anywhere recently. Well, not physically anyway.

But Evie and I have been traveling lots by book and little pirate ship.

Well we were just at our grandma and Juba Stanley and they gave us a globe. (Though daddy keeps pointing out that some of the places on it have changed names now). So the other day we traveled to Hawaii and to different places in Michigan. Though its lots harder to find a good playground on a globe than it is in real life.

Travel with daddy

So Evie and I, we like to go to Waterford Oaks. Its near, its fun, its got lots and lots of things to climb (which we like).

Well, I had forgotten that we've never taken daddy there. I remembered when he yelled at us to get off the rocks. If you haven't been there before, there are lots of rock walls to climb - the cool part... they are actual rocks. Sometimes this seems to confuse parents (like daddy thinking we needed to stay off them). But I explained that here we could climb everything... once he understood... daddy had fun climbing the rocks up and down too. I think Eve sums it up best...

Now go climb some rocks!

The Art of Geocaching!

I wanted to go geocaching since we went camping. Now my mom found this thing where the Detroit Institute of Arts has this geocache where you can find big art pieces all around town and different counties. This one below is in my town just near the library. And evie and I got to go hunt it dow. Now everytime we go to the library we go check on it to make sure its still there.

If you want lots of cool art and lots of geocaching fun check out this link. Oh and you don't have to have the GPS thingy, the link below will give you locations. That way everyone can play. See you at the artwork!

Volunteers are awesome!

Okay Evie and I don't volunteer, we have Mom for that. But we got invited to a really cool party for the Oakland County Volunteers yesterday at Independence Oaks.

I always like the nature center (Wint).

I liked the puppets (they have all these animal puppets to play with and I decided that the spider had a birthday and all the animals were there for the party. But then I decided that all the baby animals were having their autumn birthday (cause they have one each season) and it was a big party and mommy possum took the other animals for a ride on her back and yeah.

But then we went to this star lab and I liked the stars really lots. I didn't like the dark, when it got really dark I couldn't see - but then the stars came on and it was way cool. I liked it when he put on the cylinder that showed the greek star groups. (My favorite was the eagle).

The puppets were okay and the starlab thingy was neat (but I made daddy leave cause I couldn't just run from one side to the other and back.) I liked the s'more making and kayaking. I made mommy take me out on one of the kayaks. I liked it lots (even got to use the paddle) when mommy went where I wanted her too it was good. Sometimes I had to correct her steering though.

Oh and there was lots of games and geocaching. I like geocaching we got to go around the park. But then I made mommy and daddy take us back to the nature center - those puppets needed to finish their birthday party.

A long and exciting day... I wonder when I get my nap...

The perfect park

While Sloan was at school I've taken over the posting. Today mommy took me to a playdate at Depot Park in Clarkston

Squee, so cool!

Actual merry-go-round, ducks, slides, walking path, merry-go-round, and yeah a really pretty day!

Exercise, ye ha!

Have been trying to find new different places to exercise. While I enjoy running around the backyard, some days there's just not enough bars to duck under or pull myself up. So I like to make Mommy take me out to Waterford Oaks County park.

Just past the playscape and at the beginning of a trail going into the woods there is this exercise area. (Man I love this!) Ican swing and pull up and... okay I just don't understand situps... but will!

S'more camping

The ghosts are hard to see, but if you spin really quickly with your flashlight you might catch a glimpse. Well that was what my one friend told me. Wow, ghost stories are really cool!

Even better with some warm cider, freshly burned marshmallows stuck on chocolate with graham crackers keeping them together.

Yeah that was a good night.
