Abby, Zoë and Enzo

Today was the second of 5 Great Park Pursuit visits.  We arrived later than we had intended, slightly after 12:45.  The registration closes at 1:30 so we just barely had time to hit each event.  This visit was to learn from the Fish and Game department about the waterway and the fish entitled, Let's Go Fishing.  They gave us a Passport to Fun to collect the 5 stamps.  The girls got to look at bugs and fish and even learn how to cast a fishing rod.  I was surprised at how well Abby and Zoë did.  They are naturals and could cast fairly far.  We learned about many different types of fish and also how to tie the improved clinch knot.  The girls did a great job and after the five different learning sessions, we bought some cool drinks and headed the the beach area.  Abby and Zoë swam at the day use beach area while Enzo and I used the great playground.  Enzo enjoyed the swing and the slide.  We stopped for ice cream on the way home, and the lady made a mistake with Abby and Zoë's cones, black raspberry and mint chip respectively.  They were supposed to be kiddy sized wafer cones but instead got huge waffle cones instead.  The girls were happy with the mistake and that amount of ice cream.

This morning we stopped by Lowe's on our way to the Greenfield State Park.  We started the day slightly behind schedule do to early morning clean up from the roof installation.  Once underway, we pulled into the Lowe's in Epping about 5 minutes before the workshop closed.  They were very nice to us and even gave the girls last workshop's project for us to take home, plus the patches.  The girls were disappointed about missing the Father's Day workshop and now they could make it up.  It was a simple 6 nail putting green, but they were more excited about getting the patch and the toy to play with.  Mommy went to Wal-mart to pick up lunch items while we assembled the ships.  We were almost done when Mommy and Enzo arrived.  We left Lowe's at 11:30 or so and headed to the second Great Park Pursuit's event in Greenfield.  Take a look at that pirate patch, by far the coolest one so far.
