Canada 2015

At the border

Riding a train -- it helps if you yell "faster! faster! faster!" as the train accelerates.

I think holding the soldier's gun was a highlight of the trip for Eleanor

Le cafe du chat.

"Come pose with me by the bonsai tree!"

 To Eleanor's mind, it meant "come do tree pose over here"

science guys

"The science guys think that every living thing is an animal.  Like ghosts."

"Who are the science guys?"

"You know.  The people who study the rain."

The Ithaca Festival Mile

Pre-mile

A brief moment of actual running? It was short-lived.

And back to walking!

The dandelion jelly never got made . . .

But picking them was fun!

not quite haiku

Mom, want to hear my poem?  Here it is.

Put your pj's on.
Do I have to tell you again?
Put your pj's on
now.

questions

all asked this week:


Does counting ever end?

Does Saranac know he's a kitty?  I think he does know he's different than us.
 
When this day is a long time ago, will we ever run out of water?

How old are babies when they're born?

Are superheroes real?

Are gnomes real?  I think they might be because they live underground and so we wouldn't know if they were or weren't real.

Why are the old elephants in the forest standing on their hands and feet while Arthur, Celeste, and Babar are standing on just their feet?  [. . . and wearing clothes?  turns out this was the hardest one to answer]
