To be a kid again

Today I got a total sense of Mommy-hood. I snuck in a run this morning along the bluffs and then joined Terra and Logan for a super fun filled day. First we met at the preschool in route for a field trip to the apple farm. After Mrs. Lane (apple farm owner) gave her little talk to the kids about the different types of apples and demonstrated how to pick them she let us loose on the golden delicious. We showed Logan the “icky ones” with worm holes and helped him reach some of ones hidden in the branches. We also inspected a couple that had fallen to the ground and were now being consumed by ants and bees. We ran into a few spiders having lunch on the flies caught in their webs; I have to be honest, spiders normally freak me out, but with Logan I found myself wanting to show him how amazing that insect is.



After apples we had lunch and ice cream in downtown Santa Barbara and did a little window shopping. Then Terra and I got to hit the gym for an hour of weights while Logan played in daycare and then all of us went down to the dive center where her Mommies group (different than Mom’s in Motion) met for swimming. Logan was by far the best little swimmer and most comfortable in the water. He showed me his cannon ball dive a couple of times. Pizza for dinner down by the water and then on for some hot chocolate to finish off the evening. I loved watching all of the families in the Mommies group take care of each others children; it was like how I imagine small villages raising children.

A fun filled day at a different pace. Experiences are a lot more fun when viewing them through the eyes of a child.
