Family Nap
I just got up from a Family Nap. Shaun and Lu are still sleeping. We haven’t had a Family Nap in months. It was pretty glorious 🙂
The day started with some juice:
Apple, Beet, Carrot, Lemon, and Ginger
Lu decided she loved it:
You can see the juice all the way up on her forehead:
A circle of juice:
I also had some toast that I shared with Lu. There’s nothing better than sourdough toast. I put some Earth Balance vegan spread on it:
It was such a nice day (after having MANY not nice days) that we decided to walk to a local museum. On the way we stopped and got Shaun breakfast (a blueberry muffin and a chocolate muffin) and got Lu a banana. This may or may not have snuck into our bag. If it did? I had half.
My phone takes pretty good pictures, eh?
We walked to the Coyote Point Museum-it’s an Environmental Museum that Shaun took Lu to last weekend. They liked it so much that they wanted to take me. We got a membership so we’ll be going back!
Out front is a Inka Biospheric System.
It uses solar power, plants, and water to run this fish tank.
The plants naturally clean the water!
Lu LOVED the magnet gears.
They also had a water bottle wall that she thought was pretty cool.
She’s pretty shy around other little kids/unfamiliar situations and only wanted to play on the toys that were pretty unpopular.
We saw owls:
A badger:
Some fighting otters:
A tame hawk:
And a little sleeping fox:
We also saw frogs, snakes, a coyote, a ferret, eagles, and other interesting animals that I didn’t get a picture of.
It was COOL. It’s about a 3.5 mile walk roundtrip and was a great way to spend our morning.
Lu was so tuckered she fell asleep in the stroller on the way home.
For lunch, I had some Mexican Pasta:
I’m Mexican Pasta’d out. I’m also over the vegan cheese I’ve been using. I should have known not to buy it. One of it’s selling points is that “It Melts!”. *sigh*
Lastly, I’ve been craving sweets (donut anyone?). It seems it’s that time of the month or something. Anyway, I had some dark chocolate:
Tonight, we’re off to our friends house for dinner. I’m excited to be hanging out with them!

Lu looks JUST LIKE YOU in the photo with Shaun!!
Have fun tonight!!!
I love that Lu loves all things food.
Her little outfits kill me. Such a stylish little woman.
That juice looks AMAZING! And what a fun day you all had! J loves places like that! That gives me an idea – maybe I will take him to the aquarium next week!
Love sourdough. I have been enjoying whole wheat sour dough made by Beckmann’s. It is very scrumptious.
Holy Moly that juice looks chock-full-o-vitamins!
Your field trip reminds me of The Living Desert in Palm Springs, looks like fun. So nice to have family friendly things to do close to home.
Wow! That museum looks great, how fun.
I too have pole in a similarly wheatentid condition on the corner I live on.Last weekend, a crew from Western Power had come not to replace this power pole that now resembles a vertical seven-metre Flake bar, but just the timber horizontal beam where the ceramic insulators that suspend the wires, for that had indeed split lengthwise in two, thus necessitating a midnight visit.Mind you, where I live, the road kinks out of a dogleg and on the other side of the street, a pole has already succumbed to fate like Frank’s did (some young jerk in a riced-up Mitsubishi Lancer whose mods didn’t extend to brakes, suspension or steering). So there’s hope yet; so long as the car doesn’t get too far into the front yard nor the live wires come crashing onto the roof of me or my neighbours’ homes, for that’s about the only time that they do get replaced.Underground power around my neck of the woods can’t come soon enough when it finally gets rolled out; might add some much-needed vibrancy and ooshta to my end of Morley!
I thought I’d have to read a book for a discovery like this!
I’m so glad I found my solution online.
Slam dunkin like Shaquille O’Neal, if he wrote informative articles.
