A misty morning.

I almost finished peeling a whole tree

I also love all the signage here at Wheaton Labs. It's such an efficient way to convey information to the swaths of people who come through.

One of my son's favorite videos is of the log gate. He kept saying, "Dad, I'm surprised a kid like me can move this thing!"

Part of the purpose of the trip was to show my son Wheaton Labs. He loves the videos, and he loved getting to see everything (and everyone) in person.

Or first night there, Arthur loved the idea of helping with the cherry prep, and pitted a whole bowl of 'em. Clayton was kind enough to cede the pitting station in exchange for the help.

Arthur was right at home in the FP house. Very on-brand.

My son's other favorite things about our visit:

- Climbing all over the hugels and scaffolding (mostly barefoot)
- Meeting and naming the kittens
- Of course, getting to meet Paul in person

My son still tells stories of when he first met Paul, over a year and a half ago (my son is only 6). Meeting the illustious Paul is not an occasion that is easily forgotten!

Last day, Mushroom centerpiece, PEP1 Ceremony, and enjoying my bench.

It was a good trip.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!

I've never been here in the spring. Everything is so lush, green, and verdant!

Things keep getting done, new maps are around, and the Solarium looks amazing.

Malik made a sign for my bench! And then he made a better bench near it from the same tree.

I'm glad that tree has been able to become so many things after falling.
