To the Clark with Casey

We gave Casey his first taste of the Clark today after a fine meal at Bob's Country Kitchen

Great spot, but hard again to go no carb.  I was not counting today, and it made no difference, but a little exercise got the sugar down to 89.

Casey was positive about the Clark and engaged a good bit of it for a 5 year old.  After a while he got tired, but even then he opted to to for a walk there in the woods before we came home.  With out membership, we were all free.  $3 got us a little earphone and a computer that told about some of the paintings, but I think that Casey is a bit too young for that.
He loved having the digital camera Boppy let him use for the day.  He had a grand time at the pool and late in the woods. 
The large pond behind the Clark is lined with stones.  The water is crystal clear and the colors of the stones fascinated Casey.






In the woods Casey took this abstract shot of a decaying log.  Pretty cool




That attraction on the bridge was a spider.
 

Here is Casey's drink at the Clark 




Casey loves tractors and heavy equipment.  We passed this back hoe doing road work  and he took this shot.

 

He especially engaged one silver piece.  He wanted a postcard, but there were none.  Howe ver, there was a picture on line that pretty much is the piece or one very much like it made by Sterling Silver Cream Jug by Peter & Anne Bateman - Antique Georgian






Here are some photos I took of the walk in the woods.






 





 


At Ioka Valley Farm we hoped to see animals and get some pancakes, but they only open on weekends.  No one was home, so we stopped long enough on the way back to photograph the cows.  Casey walked up to the fence and all these young cows galloped over to him, so He got some interesting shots.

We were afraid they might break through the fence and tample him. 
But they did not, and he got some photos.



He caught this shot through the window of the car




At home he fished while I bailed the boat.  It was too cold for him to swim.  I thought it was fine, but the bailing was enough for me.  No bites. 
Then we watched a cartoon movie, The Nut Job

It was a good movie.  Plenty of action.  And the violence was of the old cartoon sort where no one was actually hurt.

Elizabeth cooked chicken and rice and summer squash with green beans.  I was very hungry and I guess I overate.
