Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline


Alex requested that we "go out for breakfast. walk outside." Sounded reasonable so we did. After a big breakfast of sausage and blueberry muffin, we went to a new-to-us nearby park. It is across the water from the Oakland Airport, so we thought it would be fun for the boys to watch the airplanes land and take off. At the top of a hill, there is a really cool sculpture called "Rising Wave". Here are the boys watching the planes with the sculpture behind them.


Zachary had fun collecting sticks to drag along beside the stroller and Alex collected and threw many many rocks. For a while he was asking me to hold the rocks, and one handful that was very carefully selected from the many little rocks on the ground turned out to be dried up rabbit pellets. Lovely. Phil thought Auntie Chole would appreciate that. The boys also had a lot of fun playing around the sculpture, trying to climb it and going around and around the posts. As we were getting ready to go, Alex started to run. Down the hill, up the hill, in a circle, back down the hill. And then, he climbed onto a rock and was too tired to continue! Just like that.
