Mom had to work, Henri had his last day at daycare before his summer vacations start, so Karl and me went about town. Had some Vietnamese lunch with summer rolls and Pho. Then it was off to the movies.
It was Karl's first time at a movie theater. The Lorax was a great introduction to that irresistible lure of movie magic. Karl was hooked. And ready to go to another movie sooner better than later.
It's rather mellow around here these days. The first and biggest wave of boxes and chores are done. So it was time to explore the neighborhood. We're inbetween two parks. We chose the larger one today, which sports a whopping four playgrounds. So after a hearty second lunch...
...we went off. The boys on their respective vehicles, me trying to keep up.
First playground was hit already, since it has a big bouncing car (see above.)
The real hit was the sprawling playgrounds and gardens of the Ökologische Bildungszentrum (a city sponsored Eco Education Center), where Henri found a big stone dragon to slay,
while Karl explored a jungle gym that surely deserves it's name, since it's built from a few fallen trees connected by wooden bridges with the bigger branches carved into alligator heads.
The team building double swing was a source of brotherly giggles.
While there was a hint of disappointment, that their new hero Yakari was not actually living in the teepee behind the center. Glorious day with great exhaustive qualities getting the boys hungry and sleepy.
This post is of course all about Henri's very advanced spoon fighting skills (but you may notice the sleek lines of my awesome new kitchen going out to our lovely deck as well).
Today we had a really lovely outing with kids and parents from Henri's daycare place. I took a whole bunch of pictures, but I realized just now that I have no idea in which of all of these boxes my camera cable might be. Well, here's a pretty cute phone snap shot. (I swear, there were other people too, not just my boys).
