What We've Been Up To

So I can't post every day. It was a fun experiment, but I really don't have something interesting to say every single day. I have enjoyed posting more often, though, and I will try to keep it up.

In the meantime, Amelia and I have been having a lot of summer fun.



We have a membership at the Denver Botanic Gardens and go there at least once a week. They have a wonderful children's garden with paths to follow, plants at kid-level, and garden-related toys to play with.



They also have a stream for kids to play in. So much fun! The gardens are only about 10 minutes from our house so this is a fun place to cool off on hot afternoons.



Here's Amelia at home later with her two Popsicles.

We've also been going to Book Babies downtown at Denver's Central Library. This is a different library than we went to for Book Babies last summer.



The library is at the edge of downtown, within walking distance, or we can take a bus (or drive, but it can be hard to park). We've been going early to hang out outside at the Denver Art Museum, which is across the street from the library.
A couple of weeks ago Amelia discovered this piece of art.



After a closer look she kept saying something, which I finally discerned to be "blocks in it!"



Dice. Part of the art, I figured (very thought-provoking).



Amelia added to the piece by dropping this strawberry into the water. She was pretty upset about it till I fished it out and we threw it away.

Last Friday, we went back and the dice were gone! But Amelia found a flower



which she gave to the man.



And today at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, she met a pirate.



As you can see, we've been pretty busy, but having lots of fun.
