Train Crossing




This morning we went out to see what was up. They will be re-doing the train crossing this week -- so Clark should have plenty to watch! Today they used the crane to move some track around. In the afternoon during nap time they came and knocked out all of the track and ties on the crossing. Dad will have to come around the long way to get home.


Clark has found many great activities outdoors. He checks on the baby ducks, the goose, Indy our dog and the cats as part of his "daily chores." We even bought chore boots yesterday to wear next time it rains. Other parts of his routine include thumping the pumpkin (ever since the young man bagging our groceries at Fareway showed Clark how to thump a watermelon any melon type fruit/vegetable is fair game for thumping).


Playing with sticks -- of which there are plenty around.
And of course no trip outside is ever complete without a trip to the apple trees. We eat at least 1 - 2 apples a day. We need to pick a bunch and make some applesauce or some yummy apple crisp. Clark likes to eat his apples while dancing on the picnic table (no worries he is always under close supervision).
