Eliot's Travels

Miles and I biked by the train station on the way to Eliot's school. We saw the orange train moving slowly into the station. The mural celebrates the olympics with three different carriages: snowboarding, swimming, and biking.

We got to school a little early. Miles played with the big blocks until Eliot's class let out. Eliot had made another wooden project - this time a "spinning otter"; the top from yesterday is at the bottom of the picture. His friend Jason handed me a wooden board (12x18 inches) that he had made and said voor ju (another present for me). It had a half-painted J on it.

On the way home, we saw this tugboat pushing an empty barge down the Schie. This is the same type of barge Miles and I had seen from the tram on our way to and from gym class on Monday. They were dredging muck out of the shipping canal between Delft and Den Haag. In the afternoon, Eliot and I turned a half walnut shell into a tugboat using cardboard and felt.

Jim returned home via train from Paris in the evening. The boys were glad to see daddy back home. Miles kept saying "daddy home."
