I think that the digging guys are done. We were lucky enough to get an update from Bruce. There now appears to be a big hole on my lot as well as a big pile of rocks. The next step is the concrete guys for the foundation. That won’t happen for a few weeks.
We are back to normal. The Tebbs Family has left Los Gatos and are continuing their journey around the west. You can follow them along their call of the west.
After the excitement of Castroville and the giant artichoke, we made it to Monterey and went to the Montery Bay Acquarium. We spent a little time at the acquarium saw the jellies which are really cool. Mostly, the kids just played in the various kid places, while the Tebbs adults and Alex, Ben, and Katy saw most of the exhibits. Afterwards, we went to Dennis the Menace Park and the kids ran around and had fun.
… is Castorville, CA. It is between here and Monterey. So we stopped by the Giant Artichoke restaraunt and took a few pictures of Katy and Alex in front of the giant artichoke. No telling what you will learn on my blog.
On Sunday, we all went to the Exploratorium. The big thing that amazed me about it was that there was so much that was hands on. You could play with all of the stuff. It was cool. Katy really liked the bicycle wheel that you could spin then turn it from side to side and spin around in a seat. Margaret liked the experiment with angular velocity. You spin around, if you stick your leg out, you slow down, if you pull everything in, you speed up. Sam just ran around and played with everything. The other cool thing there was a giant spirograph like thing that Katy and Margaret drew pictures on.
Today we went to Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose. We saw lots of small animals, got to feed some of them. Then went and played in the park. Rode the Merry-go-rounds and had a fun time.
Update at the end of week 1. We are fortunate enough to have my neighbor take a few pictures of the project at the end of week 1.
Here are a few pictures of the children that we don’t really have any other place to put.
I can barely walk. I pulled my hamstring playing four-square with the Tebbs Family.
