Another day at the Lake

This morning we met Yenis and Kevin at Town Lake. Normally, it takes about an hour to walk the 3 mile loop. Today it took 2 hours. Evan and Kevin walked some, and we stopped many times. We fed the ducks and swans. Evan and Kevin sat on a bench for a little while. It was a little cloudy and cool this morning, so it wasn’t too crowded on the trail.

After walking we came home and ate lunch. Evan and Noah didn’t eat much for some reason. They went down for naps around 2:30 and slept until almost 6:00. They must have been really tired. I think Evan was worn out from all the walking he did this morning.

For dinner we had chicken and rice soup and biscuits. We ate outside again. It was a little windy, but nice. Evan and Noah seem to really enjoy eating in the backyard.

After dinner we took a short walk. We got the boys ready for bed and played in the gameroom for a little while. They are both in bed now.

Nice day at the lake

In case you didn’t notice, at the bottom of the page are the most recent YouTube videos. I added one yesterday of Evan at school.

Evan loves to use nicknames. He called Mottel “Mottlenose” and Lizzy “Lizzygrowls”. Noah is “Noahknees”. Evan even sings “A, B, C, D, Noahknees.”

Today we met Yenis and Kevin (almost 3 yrs old and in Evan’s class) at Town Lake. We walked around the 3 mile loop. Evan and Kevin walked about half of the trail. They were very good and stayed with us most of the time. They both did a lot of running. I brought some bread with us to feed the ducks. We had some leftover white bread from Rudy’s a few months ago that was still in the freezer. When we were getting close to that part Evan asked for the bread. He ate one of the pieces before we Evan got to the duck part. Then when we got to the part where the ducks usually are, there were no ducks, but lots of birds around. Evan enjoyed eating the bread and giving a little to the birds. We asked him to share with Kevin so he would rip little tiny pieces off and give them to Kevin one at a time. Evan loved being so close to the birds. He even touched at least one before I could stop him. Toward the end 2 big swans swam up as well. Noah seemed to like looking around as well. Normally the walk takes about an hour, but this time it took almost 2 hours, but that’s ok. We had no where to really be.

We stopped at Jamba Juice on the way home. I usually get a medium sized drink and they pour some of it in a little cup for Evan. He loves having his own smoothie.

We had a Mediterranean dinner tonight. We made Kofta Kabobs, Saffron Rice, and Tabouli. It was all pretty good. We decided we’d definitely make it again some time. Evan really liked the tabouli.
