This week we visited a museum for a class discussing the Merrimack River. It was the first time seeing our friends after nearly two weeks! When Olivia saw Jayden, she hugged him and told him he is the best. Jayden hugged her back and said she is the best dinosaur expert. It was really so adorable.
Jayden has been asking me about his friends nearly every day, so I am glad he got to see them today. Cait was interested in one person attending today: baby Rachel!
After the initial excitement of seeing everyone, we settled down to look at a map, discuss the uses of water from the river, drew pictures of the river and what people do in it, went "fishing", had a snack, and ran around in the hot sun.
 |
| Jayden drew a man in a boat fishing. The bottom of his picture says "3-1=2" because the fisherman caught 1 fish and had 2 left in the river to catch. |
 |
| Cait drew me (the little pink figure with a ponytail) standing in water. I am taking a bath in the river. |
 |
| Cait really loved this dress, solidifying my theory that she is indeed an old soul. |
The children went "fishing" with magnets, paper fish, and paper clips (for the magnets to attract).
 |
| Snack time! |
A meetup wouldn't be a meetup of these three boys didn't run around acting like superheroes!
 |
| This was the main view I had of Jayden. He was having way too much fun running around to be bothered to smile for the camera! |
The kids had a fabulous time! The whole ride home they both spoke about how much fun they had.
Later on in the afternoon/evening, J had a tball game.
Waiting for tball to start:

Cait stretching and warming up too.

Cait took care of Alvin for Jayden

I truly enjoy watching my children's personalities and interests develop. They are really remarkable little people!
