Kurt's Excellent Adventures in Chico

Kurt came to stay with us in Chico from July 29 through August 3. We had many adventures. Everyday we visited Pollywog Creek (Little Chico Creek), fed Ginger the horse after breakfast, read a Star Wars book, and played.

Our last day on the creek, Kurt saw a crawdad, many fish, gigantic (really!!) spiders, caught pollywogs, and went tubing.


Nice sugary breakfast for Kurt and Katya. The experts reported that these were the all time best cinnamon rolls.
Kurt and Katya visiting with and feeding Ginger carrots.
Hence the name pollywog creek.

Building sand castles.
On Saturday, Scott, Jamie, the girls, Grandma, and Grandpa came down the hill from Paradise to celebrate the July birthdays (Ross, Scott, Phil).
After lunch and ice cream pie, we pulled out the water willy. Izze did NOT like the water. But as you can see, Kurt, Scott, and Michaela had a great time. Mickey liked to squirt everyone and she has accurate aim! At one point, Scott was jumping over Kurt (see above); no major injuries were sustained.
Sunday, Kurt and I went to Paradise in the morning to visit and play. Kurt and Izze rode down the drive way in their wagon. Then they climbed into the back of my truck to play with cam-straps.




After Kurt and I came back to Chico, we had lunch and caught a great magic show. Kurt was called upon twice to participate in the act. Before I dropped Kurt off at school on Tuesday, we made plans to ski together this winter and for me to bring him up to Chico on a weekend we have Katya.
