7:00 Drop off

7:20 Breakfast - pretty good try on the hot cereal

8:15 Nap

10:00 Ariel woke up with a poopy. Then she had a yogurt snack.

10:15 Left for the adventure of the day. First, we rode bikes to campus for Alex's rocket camp. Alex rode his bike and Adam and Ariel sat in the trailer.

10:45 Dropped Alex off. Then I took Adam and Ariel up to Varsity Pond. Ariel was pretty darn excited about the fish:







Adam is a nut. And he stole my sunglasses.



And neither of them fell in. Which is good because it's kind foul and I wouldn't have wanted to go swimming in there to fish them out.



Still a nut.



11:30 We had done about all there was to be done at the pond and Adam was starting to misuse his stick, so I took them on a little bike ride. We went down to the Creek path and then back up Bear Creek.

12:15 Got back to the planetarium to pick up Alex. Alas, his class was not back from launching rockets.

12:30 Finally left the planetarium. When we got to the light at our street, a man on a bike asked me if I had lost a baby croc. Apparently Ariel wanted "Shoes Off!!!" and threw the one she could get off out of the trailer in a fit of rage. The nice man went back and got it for me, and in the mean time 3 more people rode by and asked if I had lost a shoe. Sometimes people are really nice.

12:50 Got home and threw the kids in the car so we could go to swimming.

1:03 Got to swimming 3 minutes late. That whole croc fiasco really messed up my schedule. Adam was hungry and didn't have a great class. The teachers brought in noodles today so the kids could practice leaving the noodle and swimming to the wall. Adam wouldn't touch his noodle.

1:40 Left swimming, stopped at Whole Foods to load up on waffles. Ariel had some cinnamon roll and pretzels.

2:15 Stopped at the grocery store for laundry detergent and sugar. Even though I did a full trip there yesterday, I couldn't seem to remember everything.

2:30 Got home. Ariel was not interested in ravioli.

3:00 Down for nap.

4:30 Pick up.
