Mutti’s Visit: Coyote Point Museum and Playground, more Chinatown

We went to the Coyote Point Camp orientation. First Leilani went to the dead animals and correctly identified a blowfish, a snakeskin but had troubles with the fox, and got a lot of information there. Then Leilani and Mutti stayed with the teachers, Leilani drew some really nice pictures and I listened to the presentation. I really like their version of summercamp, they will try to teach the kids a lot about environmentally good choices.

Andy says: This is the first time I’ve noticed that Leilani draws full faces and figures, well legs and arms at least.

We went back to chinatown on Tuesday the 19th

Leilani found her friends again, they were sitting on a different bench thought

Later on we took the cablecar to Fisherman’s Warf and walked over to pier 39 where we tried on the hats and bought bad chocolate. Andy came to pick us up, and ate really bad dinner, wish I could remember the restaurant, just to avoid it, but I think I’ll avoid all food items on Pier 39 in future… but the hats were awesome!

Another day, at the Coyote Point playground. Leilani invented a game: someone stands at the top, throws a little piece of wood down, and the two others have to compete to get it. Of course most the time she stood on top, but we took turns…

There is a big dragon… Leilani climbed it and held a speech up there.

I throw a lot of these photos out lately…

Pretty flowers at the playground

Playing in the small slide…

… and sliding down the big one

Best way to get Leilani to smile for the camera:

Leilani ran around barefoot, and poked a big hole into her foot. I doctored her and she got a princess band-aid and heal-vendel (heil-vendel, healing lavender) and a lot of Heile-Heile-Segen songs and felt a lot better right away…

But she insisted on getting 2 new band-aids every day for almost a week afterwards.
