They have these fun tables at the aquarium where water runs downhill and you can build channels and send boats through. Connor loves it.

water tables — Who's driving these boats?

Then, we came home and picked a yummy tomato.

red and green — One of them is ripe, anyway.

After that, Connor looked for Mom to get home on the bike.

Connor's latest favorite thing to build is a structure like this. It's an "airplane truck tower".

Connor and I made a pie. Connor liked stirring this pot, but he liked eating the extra strawberries even more.

These flowers probably have a name, but I'll just call them "Orange"

Jellyfish — These jellies look like upside-down starbases from *The Next Generation*

This field has come full-circle, turing brown again the way it was when we moved here.

They have a new exhibit at the aquarium where you explore clean energy sources. One of them has a bunch of mechanical ways to pump water around a little fountain, including this seesaw.

looking for the garbage truck — Looking for the Garbage Truck

Connor really loves to watch big trucks go by. The garbage truck comes and makes lots of noise and he loves to stare at it, mesmerized.

Then, for the rest of the day he wants to make the "garbage truck sound", which involves saying "mmmmMMMMMMMmm" and increasing both the emphasis and the volume mid-way through, then falling off at the end.
