This is what we didn't see today... haha. Seriously though, these guys do live at Commonwealth Park, and this picture was even taken in Beaverton. I had heard about them being around here, but had never talked to folks who had seen them. Today we met up with some friends who live near there and have seen them lots of times. Samuel even tried taking us to the places they have spotted them in the past, but no luck today.
It was a fun day, though. We fed the ducks a little first, and then played a bit on the equipment, but by far the kids spent most of their time exploring around the water, which was great by me! The neatest part of the day was how much time Orion spent with Eva. In the past, he has followed Samuel around like a lost puppy - that whole big boy idolization thing. Plus, Eva had not talked to him much before today. She seemed to really connect with him today, though, and they were so cute together, going around and examining colors in rocks and such. They had their heads bent down to the ground together for quite a bit of time. It is so cool to see because Orion is just starting to really play *with* other kids. Mostly he will do his own thing, even if there are friends around. He still has a hard time sharing, so it is easier if kids are playing with different things. But here and there he has seemed more genuinely interactive with other kids, and is such a neat development to watch!

yes, we have them in the little nature area across from our house. They'd wander into our yard to munch on plants (aka dandelions). We love our big nutria friends.
