Conservatory and Playdate

In our constant quest for new free or cheap outings, Nicholas and I decided to check out the Conservatory in the park near school. It was okay, although pretty small. I doubt we'll go back.

But we still had a really good morning, mostly because we met up with Katie and Alice. I called Katie because they live near the park and it turned out she and Alice were in that very park running. So they extended their run while they waited for us (yes, Katie is amazing--I get winded pushing the stroller up a hill . . . walking) and we took the kids in together and then went back to their house to play.

The babies seemed mildly interested in the plants, but really liked the little pond with bright orange fish and a waterfall. I thought Nicholas was going to try to climb in to get a fish!

Back at the house they mostly just sat and played with separate toys, but towards the end they began to interact a little. This mostly consisted of Alice reaching out to grab Nicholas' hand or touch his head, but it is more than they have interacted in the past. They are growing up so quickly!
