Monday was Halloween. We met up with a bunch of Zeeke's friends on 13th Street for some intense trick-or-treating. Zeeke was a bit overwhelmed but still really enjoyed demonstrating how he could pick up candy with his lobster claws. We ran into two other lobsters (one child and one dog) and heard rumors of others!
Saturday morning, Steve & Zeeke went to the Zoo. We realized we'd never explored the Goat Bridge and Tower. The goats weren't around, but Zeeke had a blast climbing the tower and crossing the rope bridge. In the afternoon, all three of us went to The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education for Moira's birthday party. We walked through the woods collecting treasures to turn into faerie houses, climbed trees and enjoyed a fantastic fall day. During the tour of the houses everyone built, Zeeke declared that his was actually for bats, not faeries, and went into a detailed explanation behind each architectural element of his house.
Sunday, Karen & Zeeke went to Pirate Day at the Brandywine River Museum of Art. Zeeke made pirate crafts, learned about knots, hunted for treasure, and enjoyed a Peter Pan storytime presented by Hedgerow Theatre. In the afternoon we made chocolate pudding.
Conversations with Zeeke:
Flipping through the channels....
"Ok, Zeeke, you can watch Sofia the First, Daniel Tiger, Curious George, or... Ed Slott's Retirement Road Map."
"I want Ed Slott's Retirement Road Map."
"Daddy, do you want to make a video of me eating oyster crackers?"
"Oh, sure. Sounds great."
"What would you like for dinner?"
"Well, I think I'm only hungry for chocolate pudding."
"That's for dessert. First we have to eat real food."
"Well, for some people, dessert is real food so they eat that first."
"Yeah, but we're not that kind of people."
"Daddy, everyone is that kind of people!"
