down by the river

We went down to the river again today. It wasn't as hot, but it was just as nice to cool off. Here are way too many pictures, in non-chronological order.

Isaac checking out this structure further out in the river - a semi-circle of rocks someone made.

On his bike later...

Evolution of tool use. First Isaac goes around the stick with his whole body while turning it to make a hole in the sand.

 Evaluation.

 Second attempt. Instead of moving himself ("I'm getting dizzy"), Isaac turns the stick with his hands.

More rock throwing, of course.

At the fountain

 Climbing in the landscaping - always a favorite feature of Alton Baker Park for Isaac.

 Isaac took this picture himself. "Look, it's my bottle!" Actually, I should correct myself. He took four pictures exactly like this. Bottles. An enticing subject, to be sure.

We are looking forward to a slightly cooler week ahead. And a last week of work before another break for Mama to go by fast!
