Arlo and Jack first week of a six week visit

Arlo and Jack will be with us for 6 weeks this summer....hooray !!!! Our first week was full of family and beaches.

 We got close to the turkeys across the street

 Jack enjoyed his frog and found a new place to put his glasses at night.

 Jack tries a one man band

 After attending a great gem show in town we excavated our own gems

 An animated game of Ghost with Nana Gwen and Grandad Oscar

 Peas grown in Kellys garden and corn for dinner

The next day we enjoyed building a fort at the beach. Lots of driftwood this year.

 More deer and turkeys

 Nothing better than hot dogs cooked over an open fire

 

 And off to Bixbys to play and feed his chickens

 And a snack up the tree

Mike and Arlo make tortillas

Jack wanted to explore the beach lagoon where we found frogs two years ago. 

Only a few tadpoles but fun to try and catch.

 It was warm enough to play at the waters edge.

 Smeagle the Seagull coming for crackers from Arlo

Saturday was discovery day at San Simeon.

We tested the water for temperature and salinity and

 looked at a water sample under the microscope.

 Jack helped to drag out a huge whale bone from under the center.

Then we headed down to the beach to contribute to a weaving.

 Bixby came to stay overnight.

 Nana Gwen and Grandad Oscar

 met us at the bench at Lampert Cliffs
