Movies with sound are for rich people.

Saturday morning, Laura's girl scout troop volunteered at the Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon wetlands in the middle of Fremont.  This activity was a final project for their Breathe Journey badges.  Laura was excited that she got to use sharp tools (like hedge trimmers).

The girls enjoyed watching the baby geese.

When I mentioned that I wanted to check out the silent film museum, Joshua said "Because movies with sound are for rich people".  Saturday afternoon we biked to the nearby Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.  The pays tribute to Niles historical significance as the silent movie capital.  The small museum had a few exhibits about silent film history and we saw a few short movies.

On Sunday we went to the Sunol Regional Wilderness, using an "Explore and Go" backpack that I borrowed from the library.  It even had a pass to visit East Bay parks!

Laura enjoyed climbing on this unusually shaped tree,

We saw lots of lizards running around outside the visitor center.
