Amelia and I went to the park tonight because 1) It was beautiful outside, 2) Daphne was asleep, and 3) Ethan wanted to read Harry Potter.
I was feeling pretty good about skipping running tonight since we walked.  Until we ended up at the castle park and the ice cream truck showed up. Amelia got a Dora Ice (no cream, it’s banana and strawberry flavored frozen stuff) and I got a sundae cone.

We have a rule, modeled after Emma, that Amelia can’t have gum until she’s 5. Except the Dora Ice came with gumball eyes.

She’s doing a good imitation of her ice here. She was on her way to showing me her gum. But this picture is funnier.  She ended up swallowing each piece of gum after a while.
Then! We found a robin’s eggshell in only two pieces. We talked through how a bird gets out of the shell several times.  Here is the small top half in her hand.

She said she could hold it the whole way home so gently so she could show it to Daddy and then take it to share with her class tomorrow. She held it in her hat, but this is what it looked like when we got home.

We had such a nice time.  Too bad it isn’t 80 degrees and low humidity every day in the summer.
