As mentioned previously, he became obsessed with totem poles during a Spring trip to Victoria BC. There is a big one in West Seattle that he LOVES and he was very excited to have his picture taken next to it (even though the weather was horrible and the Seattle skyline is no where to be seen in the background like it is on a sunny day). Keaton showed me the smaller version of this totem pole at the West Seattle Trader Joe's. I would have never spotted it but he did and now we look at it every time we are there.
He also LOVES this peacock that is right up the street from us. Yes, I realize it's not a peacock but that's what he calls it. I'm a little worried the owners may request a restraining order since we drive by their house a lot...but these are the things you risk for keeping your kids happy. A lady at TJ's work has a small statue of this (why I don't know?????) so it is possible for us to get Keaton his very own but I'd rather look at it in someone else's yard than my own yard.
Keaton is also really into scarecrows right now. There is one down the street (but currently broken from the crazy weather so no picture of that one) that we walk by daily when walking Manny. He loves it and has been lucky enough to get 2 for his garden (we didn't have much luck this year, next year we're sticking to strawberries and pumpkins). He also got a scarecrow window hanging from Nana Tarr that he loves and moves from window to window around the house.
On the lookout for his favorite things in West Seattle....or maybe looking for the "BOOM"! He still talks about the BOOM and is trying to find it...the thunder from a few weeks ago!
There is a place in Chelan that sells those chicken / rooster yard art pieces. We'll have to see if we can get Keaton a mini one when we're there!
ReplyDeleteIn your scarecrow picture what is the red things growing in the center of your garden? Are those tomatillos (sp?) or those money plants? My Grandma always grew money plants (not sure that is actually what they are called)
