Photos of Isla and her gang
These are some photo’s one of the other parents sent us from some of the kids play groups we go to regularly. She generally spends the first ten minutes staring at what the other kids are doing but then she warms to it gets to playing about. The indoor playground meetup is in the gymnasium of the local technical school and it gives the kids a chance to run about without their winter clothes, the second event is the library ‘play and chat’ where I sit about and talk video games with the other fathers while they play with the awesome toys that are too large/loud to have in a home.

The scoot shuffle crawl
The second day of just the two of us has gone well. Good sleeping, playing and eating. Some of my wee plans have unintended consequences; good meal= sleeping well, both things we can do and are desirable, she has been having all she likes for a day, however the diaper usage has also increased. Ah, the indignities of parenting.
Here is a vid of her ambling SSC across the toy land that is our living room floor, sometimes.

A trip to the Alaska State Fair
We used some of this long weekend for an enjoyable trip north to the state fair. The weather was great and it was nice to spend a few nights in Anchorage enjoying the big city.
April and Isla were very patient while I ate one of the four meals I had that day, I love food that comes from a cart or stand!
The girls next to the new world record holding 127 pound cabbage.
Isla was very excited about the cabbage.
Resting and thinking about the pulled pork sandwich, elephant ear, deep fried halibut, rhubarb lemonade, birch syrup samples and gyro.
The next day Isla had her first spork meal, sry babe no taco bell for you.
