this saturday

Posts, ,

Our saturday started with story time at the library. Emma likes the flowers that grow out front.

Next we walked to Trader Joe’s to buy a few things and get a roll of laundry quarters. We sat on Lakeshore Avenue eating a yogurt while this fellow entertained us with his music.

We love to sample fruit and check out the farmers’ market. This week Emma got a balloon cat.

I got an iced coffee from the Bicycle coffee stand. They are locals and deliver coffee by bike.

Later, after Emma’s nap we walked to pick up our CSA from Phat Beets. It was amazing how much produce we got. I should take a picture. ^_^ IMG_20140726_201838~2

The Mocha art class is Wednesdays starting at 1:30 p.m. in the main library. We crashed it today and despite a little two-year-old behavior is was a total success. Emma Clover used pastels and cut with scissors for the first time! It was an activity where kids learned how to make pop-up cards. Also there were markers and pencils and lots of paper for drawing and creating. I had a lot of fun too. ^_^shot_1405545583874

pelicans

Posts, , ,

These pelicans are super cool to see at Lake Merritt! There is one resident pelican and it cannot fly so its friends come over to visit her. Clover and I love visiting all the birds but the pelicans and egrets are my favorite, probably because they are pretty large birds. I love the picture with the pelican and Emma that shows off their size (the pelican is on higher ground by the way). ^_^
