This morning we packed our lunches, water bottles and light sabers and headed to Caponi Art Park. We went here once before last August and I was excited to return. There are narrow paths that go through woods, sculptures hidden in the hills and all around. It is such a magical place that feels like a real life fairy tale or an enchanted place.
We walked around and looked at the art and swung light sabers at imaginary bad guys. We had a picnic. We may have taken a wrong turn sometime after lunch and our magical romp through the woods became more of a death march, but we figured it out quickly and everyone survived. Augustus was asleep the moment we got into the car and napped for 2.5 hours when we got home, so it might have been a bit more walking than I was aiming for, but overall, it was great.
We only saw 2 other mom/kid pairs the whole time we were there. It was very quiet. Augustus is the most outgoing, friendliest kid ever and when we saw one mom and kid, he said, “that’s our neighbor!” (It wasn’t). Xander (in such a snotty teenage way) said, “that’s not our neighbor, you’re just friendly!”
When we got home, Augustus napped and Xander and I rested. Eventually Xander and I went outside to play with the basketball. He has the same signature move I do- dribble, dribble, hit your foot, run after the ball, kick the ball, chase the ball some more.
When Augustus woke up, we played outside some more and rode bikes until dinner. It was a fast day!
