Growing plants

Katie has been good about watering her plants. They are getting big. They are growing toward the window.
The beans/tomato plants are starting to come up also - Bill didn't label them so we will have to wait and see

Little Green Fingers

Bill bought some little pots, potting soil and seeds. He was showing Katie had to plant them and care from them. They planted lettuce, tomato, and green bean seeds. Within 2 days they were starting to sprout. I just don't know where he plans on putting them outside now?

We went to the Liberty Science Center this past weekend. Katie had fun, although I am not sure she really learned anything.

They have a ton of hands on activities for the kids and adults. She can't do what she is supposed to at the stations but that doesn't stop her from touching everything.Here she is digging trenches in the Hudson River. She liked putting her hands in the water.

This is a special touch wall. It takes your heat and puts it into an image. Most people place their hands on the wall but Bill decided to place Katie on the wall. I wish the picture had come out better/clearer.

She loves to paint. They had a slate wall with some water on - what a great idea. We may do this in the backyard.

And of course to big pit of rice - loves to dig.

She had a great time then passed out in the car on the way home. What fun to be a kid again.

Rollerskating

We went rollerskating tonight. Katie actually did very well. I am surprised that I didn't fall several times but we both managed to go around the ring three times with out any bodily harm, and I think we had a good time doing it.

Train show

Sunday we went to the Greenberg train show in Edison NJ. Katie was able to ride on this "real" train.
I think the highlight of the show for her was playing with this yellow balloon. It started out as a balloon dog but unraveled into a straight balloon - which was then made into a hat

If you can't see - Elmo is the conductor.

Parade

Bill took Katie to her first parade on saturday - the St Patricks Day parade in seaside heights. They had a good time. I am sorry I missed it ( had to work ). Bill only took a few pictures, but the video is cute.

Geese

We stopped my the lake by Great adventure the other day - I wanted to feed the ducks. Well the ducks were geese and Bill wasn't very happy - he really isn't an animal person. Any way Katie had a fun time. She always loves throwing rocks into the water. She wasn't quite sure about the geese.

This is about as close as Bill would get to the geese. Don't think we will be returning here again any time soon.
