Gabe had a field trip in Homer this week, and Oscar and I decided to join him. We had a great time, putting some more miles on O's sled and checking out the wildlife. The cabin we stayed in was situated on a bluff over Kachemak Bay. It came complete with it's own petrified whale vertebra (eek!) and resident moose.
I took Oscar to the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center. He quickly decided that the only thing of interest inside was the garbage can, so we frolicked outside instead.
It turns out Oscar is a bit of an adrenaline junkie. The weather relented, so we took him sledding yesterday. He loved it, especially when we started rocketing him down hills. Also, there was the added bonus of not having to actually touch the snow!
This is unfortunate, given where we live. Here he is begging to be picked up. So far, we've learned he doesn't like standing on it, sitting in it, or touching it. Sometimes he is okay with looking at it (but not for too long).
