Exploring the World

Yesterday the boys and I wandered down to the riverfront area near downtown. We watched cars zoom by under us from the pedestrian bridge, admired moving trucks being loaded with stuff from the lofts and were mesmorized by the trains chugging under yet another bridge. It was an all boy afternoon, and that included getting as dirty as possible.

Close to commons park is a little open outdoor area in the shade with lots of cement rises to explore. LT ran around the tops of them and jumped off the edges. Adler would have done the same, if he could walk (which we need to get a video of, but he has taken 6 steps in a row, but prefers to crawl).

It was really hard to capture just how dirty these boys really were on camera. I had also wiped off their hands and feet several times by the time these pictures were taken, but you can sort of see the gray tint on both boys pants that are supposed to be dark blue.




Adler is learning about the world. One way to do this is to rub your hands on dirty cement downtown for over 45 minutes. At various times during this afternoon event, Adler was laying on his belly making snow angels with his arms and legs.
