He woke up early, so Carly got coffee and took him on a walk to a pocket park on 76th where he had a lot of fun.
We the had some time to play with Thatcher in the backyard and house. August pushed the lawn mower around and continues to love Thatcher’s fire truck.
We then drove over to visit Stephanie and Ruby. We did tempera painting on the porch, played inside for a little while, walked their dog to the vet, and then walked to a nice coffee shop called Java Bean. August fell asleep on the walk and woke up during our stay at the Java Bean.
August really got into the tempera painting. It was his first real focus on an art activity. He and Ruby were interacting a bit more (beeping her nose, for example) and it was good to see Ruby, who can be rather shy, really interacting with me and Carly.
We went back to the house for awhile then drove down to Capitol Hill for dinner at Hank and Judith’s.
We picked raspberries with Judith while Hank started dinner. August helped by dropping the berries in the basket. During dinner August ate salmon and lamb. Ethan showed up, and really entertained him by doing handstands and cartwheels in the grass.
By the end, as he was getting tired, he was really excited by watching the bees and flies on the plastic the fish had been in, and looking in the barbecue.
He made it home awake and took a bath before going to sleep.
