Random Summer Fun

In addition to those awesome summer weekends, we have also enjoyed some random, fun play dates. We've hiked, hit the zoo (multiple times), visited a couple different museums, toured some local farms, hit every park imaginable, and much more. I realize I haven't taken my camera on most of these outings but this is what I have. I have taken full advantage of being home for the summer and we have tried to enjoy Washington to its fullest. We have not gotten all the way through my list of things to do this summer but I feel fulfilled!

Anytime Callie is laying like this, Liam stops whatever he is doing and crawls on top of her. Luckily she likes it (so far).

We hiked to a local beach to enjoy low tide with some of my long time teaching friends.

Collecting some seashells

Finding crabs

It was a beautiful beach and a beautiful day

The love between these two makes my heart so, so happy.

And here's some random ones :)

I'm so glad she didn't ask to go play in the water!

There's a new indoor playground near our house. The kids love it....and truly, I enjoy it quite a bit too :)

The trampoline

Practicing his ball shooting skills

There is a lot of climbing involved, someone slept very, very good

What goes up, must come down....

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom. Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles. Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
