Let's go for a walk



Caleb and I take frequent walks throughout the neighborhood just to get out of the house and to get some exercise. I remembered Caleb had a coupon to get some free yogurt at The Golden Spoon so we decided to take a walk there. Caleb seems to really enjoy nature because every time we go for a walk he says "Oooh...look momma, pretty flowers." or "Look momma, trees and leaves!" and sometimes he says "Look what Jesus made momma!" and he will be fascinated with a bush or a pinecone. Lol. So he did his usual of pointing out trees, flowers, bushes, grass, and pinecones.







When we reached the crosswalk Caleb felt he was big enough to push the button so I allowed him to do his thang. Lol.


Finally we reached The Golden Spoon and got our free small yogurt. The only problem was....it was just the yogurt that was free...toppings were extra. So I got the yogurt and Caleb asked "Where's the sprinkles?" I had to tell him that there were no more. Lol. He looked confused and started to eat the plain yogurt thinking about what I had just said. Apparently the lack of sprinkles didn't bother him because he ate it all up.


On the way home we came across a bus stop. Caleb wanted to sit and pretend to be waiting for the bus. There was a poster next to him with a bunch of people sticking up their thumbs which I'm not sure why but he thought it was funny and decided to be like them.


So then I joined in on the fun:


We had such a great time walking and talking that later on in the day he asked if we could do it again. Of course i was tired and told him next time and then chose to eat a bunch of sour cream and play Kingdom Hearts. What a great Sunday! :)

Seaport Village

Today, Caleb and I went to Seaport Village to have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful weather we were having. As we arrived, Caleb kept saying "What a beautiful day momma!" and I agreed. We first sat with the ducks at the pond and had hot dogs, cheesy pringles, and carrots. We saw a group of baby ducklings but silly me didn't take any pictures! After our lunch we made our way over to the shops. Caleb was more interested in the toys but there was one place we both had a passion for...The Wyland gallery. Caleb was so mesmerized with all of the whale, dolphin, shamu, fish, and shark paintings and sculptures. He was very good not to touch and I explained to him that it was Art. Next he wanted to visit the seashell shop and really enjoyed all of the starfish, shells, and seahorses filling each of the bins. He was also very good at not touching or handling the ones he could touch very delicately. Next stop was the Music Box shop. He loves snowglobes and so do I so we spent some time playing with all of the music boxes and snowglobes. Afterwards we took a walk on the pier and looked at the boats and kites flying around. Caleb really enjoyed Seaport Village and kept saying how beautiful everything was. From the sculptures, to the fountains, to the music, gift shops, ducks, people, and food...today was another awesome date. I love my moo. :)


Caleb really enjoyed the boats.


Caleb wanted to take a picture on this bench for some reason...


Caleb found this table fascinating because it's painted with flowers.


Woah...Swordfish!


Pull Caleb, pull!
