Off for a walk.....................

I picked Tristen up from school yesterday and he asked if we could go for a walk. It was not in my plans but hey, the kid wants a walk then lets go.
It was not that warm but I figured if I was walking then it was warm enough. No coat. We walked down to the river and I saw a Loon fly by, that was a surprise. I took my camera, not a lot going on so I figured why not. Well when we got close to the Old Library, Tristen remembered that there had been a train show there. Well that was in December but the Art center was open and he wanted to go in, so we did.
He was very interested and the picture he is looking at here was made of paper that had been drawn on and cut and pasted. We decided we could do that.

I certainly want to do this for his room

He enjoyed looking around and touching some of the wood and textured stuff.

He decided we can do this too. Paint stones.

There was some nice things there. I has asked if I could take pictures. Well we mosied on to the river disturbed a Bunny and a few Chipmunks.

They were clearing brush, so we had to take a detour.The chippy enjoyed playing with some hollow logs.

The path was closed so we went the other way

Tristen saw these and liked them. Daisies like in Dads lawn

View of the river. Everything is changing. They are now building on the other side. Someone will have a nice condo or apartment overlooking the park and river.

Tristen got to run and play and stretch his legs.


I got to take pictures. Some of the gardens were pretty. Tristen had to unload the wood chips from his shoe.

Lots of Spring flowers






It's a nice neighbourhood. Lots of lovely old houses close to the river. We wondered who lived in this little hole in the tree.

By the time we got off of the river path he was hungry and asked why we had walked so far. Kids..........it was HIS idea. Besides its only a few blocks. The river is on 6th st and we live on 9th.
