Week four was a great one! Very busy and fun, which is just as well because the following week we were forced to take it easy.
We were going to meet Adi's PT at an indoor park Sunday morning, but when we got there we discovered that they didn't open till noon. So we went to a playground nearby, and Adi did very well!
Learning to walk down stairs. When she masters it, I'm in trouble, because that's the only thing keeping Adi from escaping the house when the door is open. ;)
Hard work deserves a rest on a bench and a tangerine snack.
After the park we went home... but the boys wanted a detour to 13th avenue. By the time we got home, we had walked over three miles. On our way back we saw this adorable kitten. It is obviously a fancy breed, so I think it was someone's. Gorgeous eyes!
And if three miles in the heat wasn't enough for us, I decided to wash and fill our kiddie pool. I had been doing research on a better pool. Still vinyl, but it's filter compatible, eliminating the need to empty it every two days and wash off the slime. They happen to sell this pool around the corner from us, so I went to buy it. Setting it up wasn't hard, but we had to shovel away half the sand "box" to make room for the pool. Wash the plastic tarp, spread it out smoothly... by 4 PM the pool was up and we went swimming! Yay!
Monday: Library day, as usual. After the library we went to check out something new... a Jungle Gym opened in our neighborhood! $10 per kid, kinda steep, especially since there isn't that much to do. But the time isn't limited, so you can play all you wish!
I know the kids enjoyed. :)
My wild Yaya... doing his stuff.
On Tuesday we enjoyed our new large pool. Yeah!
Snorkeling!
By the time we went outside, it was too late to do anything but a little shopping. On our way home, we were lucky enough to catch this sunset.
Wednesday:
Nothing out of the ordinary. Adi had therapy... I keep trying to get photos of Adi and her OT. I have not even one. It doesn't help that she screams if I stick around during the session. So I have to hide. But I still can't manage to get one out the window! I caught her cuddling her bear, but the therapist was out of sight. One day, I must!
On Thursday we went on an awesome trip to the aquarium and the ocean.
On Friday we were swimming when we discovered something wriggling in our sandbox.
What? A snake! A baby snake! (Where's the mother, that's what I wanna know.)
Look at that cool tongue.
Gedalya was in love.
What a lucky day!
1- that therapist looks familiar, does she come to my building?
ReplyDelete2-thanks for the pix of Jungle Gym, Ruchela will love to go especially since they have that trampoline!
3-that pool looks AWESOME! when can we come visit?
1- Yes, that's Randi. She works with Tzippy's son.
ReplyDelete2- Maybe we can go to the Jungle Gym together one day!
3- Come any time! Summer's almost over, so chap arain. We didn't go swimming all 9 days, then Wednesday was too hectic to refill the pool. Refilled it Thursday, but couldn't swim because of the stitches which we got out on Friday. Then today was the mabul! As soon as the weather clears, please come on over!
Wow. Your kids are very lucky to have you running their summer program.
