Saturday Activities with Eowyn

On Saturday, 16 May, Eowyn went to a Girl Scout Event at the Tacoma Nature Center.  The TCN is a 54 acre area inside Tacoma that acts as a storm water catch.

Here is Eowyn examining a yucky worm.

I know!  I know!

Under the Cherry Tree

Our cherry tree next to our house, and our girls next to our cherry tree.

Redwoods

On the drive home from our vacation we stopped off in the Redwoods at the Lady Bird Johnson Grove.  It is a pretty easy 1 mile loop walk through a stand of ancient redwoods.  Eowyn ran the entire loop, with Giana on her heels.  Seneca fell down about 50 feet into the walk and either rode the stroller or was carried most of the rest of the way.  Sarafina walked and was carried.  I think Eowyn really enjoyed it, especially exploring the hollow trunks of many of the trees.

Monterey vacation

The beach in Carmel, Eowyn is bringing building materials to Giana.

Dolly is bundled up on the beach.

The girls are collaborating on building the perfect sand castle.  After building, they stomped it, because Eowyn says that is as much fun as building.

Whale watching
