We've been taking advantage of the last few days before kindergarten starts to visit some of our favorite local places --
On the weekend, S took BJ to the local planetarium. Can you say fun? BJ sure can. I mean, the kid got to pretend he was an astronaut.
On Tuesday, BJ had a park day to meet some of the other students who will be in his kindergarten class. (The fact that they have such a get-together scheduled before school starts is one of the many reasons I'm so thrilled about his school.) We got to talk to his teacher again, deliver the drawings she had asked for last week, and meet many of his peers-to-be. It was especially nice that it happened to be scheduled for a Tuesday, so we could go while BB was in preschool and focus only on BJ.
Yesterday, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with our excellent friends A and C. C and BB are nearly the same age, and as of yesterday they are officially "Best Friends" -- C found one of those matching Best Friends necklaces in the gift shop and declared that she had to get it for her and BB, because BB was her Best Friend. BB wore the "Best" half for the rest of the day, absolutely delighted. So very sweet! Here are the girls wearing their necklaces -- and here's what happens when you ask two preschoolers to smile... this was the best shot of about six:
The aquarium was great fun. I really enjoy A's company (and C's too!) and it was nice to be able to chat in the car and catch up a bit. The kids got along really well. They especially enjoyed the wall where the wave crashes over their heads:
And they were peas in a pod at the dancing seahorses movie -- I think they watched it three times!
Today, S and I took BJ to the Children's Discovery Museum while BB was in preschool. This being the last preschool day for BB before his kinder starts on Monday, we wanted to do something special with him. CDM was his choice, and we had a great time. Here's S and him making the treadle go:
And as always, the bubble area was very popular. Clearly, making bubbles is serious business.
We finished the day with a family dinner -- pizza at Round Table and then ice cream dessert at our favorite parlor. Yum!
So the days have been very, very full as summer winds to a close. Even though there are, technically speaking, a good many summer days remaining before Fall begins, I can't help but think that once school starts the summer is over.
