Today we went to the small city where a river flows into the ocean. It was a long day, but one that was very fun. We agreed to meet two friends, one of whom works with the church main office here. Sam was excited to ride the train out and may have enjoyed this part best of all. When we got there we met the two friends and took a walk. We passed one of the historic churches and stopped in an art museum (not primarily for the art, but for the breastfeeding room). Sam was kind of a pain during this part. The waterfront has a lot of little vehicles you can ride, games to play, etc. He rejected the playground we took him to because he really wanted to ride one of the cars. He did get into one of the art exhibits, which featured hundreds of toy animals. He enjoyed going around, pointing at them, and saying the names. We went to a local noodle shop for lunch, stopped at McD for coffee and ice cream and then headed home. This does not sound like a long day, but it was impressively busy for us. It always makes me happy when we can include other people, in part just because it gives them a glimpse of our life also. I know our kids bring a lot of joy to others, and we like that also.
Four long days! We're looking forward to preschool for Sam tomorrow and having childcare help. I have a lot of language on Thursday and Friday (eight hours), but tomorrow should be relatively quiet. I'm looking forward to going back to the normal routine.
