Garden Hopscotch

The kids found another activity for the Center Avenue Community Garden.

Karen's Tomatillo Salsa

David helped us dig around the Tomatillo plant at the Center Avenue Community Garden this Fall, and we rounded up some great looking ones! The tomatillo looks like a green apple, and has a nice, sweet taste if you dig into it raw.

Karen found a tomatillo sauce/salsa recipe online, and it turned out great! Here are a few pictures of the process, with more information on the recipe to follow:

Picking Raspberries at the CACG

Brenna and Colin found some gems in the Raspberry patch near the northeast entrance of the Center Avenue Community Garden.

An Underrated Spot for Kids in the East Bay

While there are plenty of great parks and museums throughout the East Bay, one of the kid's favorite spots to run around is the play area at the Concord Airport.

Tucked just beneath the Control Tower, the small, fenced-in area provides great views of planes taking off and landing.

The play structure is subtle, and along with the painted runway, gives the kid's plenty of room to use their imaginations.

It's also a perfect spot to practice riding bikes or scooters.

There are no bathrooms, though, so plan ahead.

Here are some pictures of a recent trip with Colin:
