Water Play

Labor Day Weekend

 Labor Day weekend was filled with sweet beautiful sunshine so we enjoyed several hours in the sun. We spent the weekend out visiting Grandpa Hawk and the kids enjoyed the water. They played in the yard with a small pool, a sprinkler and the slip and slide. We also visited the local lake in which the kids enjoyed the water. It was relaxing, summery and fun... a great way to enjoy the weekend!

Summer Has Arrived... Finally!

This Spring has been cold, wet and dreary... to put it kindly! Even for this seasoned Pacific Northwest native, I am done. I am ready for some sunshine on a regular basis, not just once every three weeks. Hopefully the time has arrived.

The past couple of days the sun made it's appearance and Holly finally got out to enjoy it! We have been shaking off an unpleasant cold in the family, have been indoors for the past couple of days - so, not only was time outside just really needed... sunshine was extra needed!

Water Fountain Fun

This Sunday after we enjoyed Uncle Adam's graduation ceremony we stuck around Seattle Center to enjoy a bit of water fun with Holly. She had been looking forward to the big fountain the whole afternoon, primed for water and equipped with sunshine... she had a recipe for fun!

This was her first time to play in this classic Seattle fountain and she enjoyed every minute of it. I spent some time with her in the fountain and even Grandpa Hawk game down to enjoy the water play. After getting all warmed up in a towel she enjoyed a special snack of mini pink donuts. Then we all enjoyed dinner together before heading home from a long day of fun!

Water Fun

Friday we met up with some friends and enjoyed a little wet play at a local park. I love this park because it feels like you are camping; a beautiful canopy, animals, ruggedness and a little stream to boot. Personally, it is my favorite park in town -- and not crowded, ever! Holly had a really nice time getting wet and muddy... what child can resist that?
