Adventures in … Life

Bine and I went to the Greenlake wading pool this afternoon. Fun time.

Yesterday we took a great trip down the Delaware…and Sabine’s first! As always, the views were amazing, wildlife was seen, and fun was had. Couldn’t have been a better day!

This weekend Sabine did a little music playing with Mark…and had a great time.

As usual, Friday means hanging with the Bine and playing with Samuel and Jessica. Yesterday we did a bunch of things, but the most fun was had in the back yard playing in the new “pool” and whatever other random items we found lying around. There was lots of laughing, splashing, getting naked, and generally having a good time. They even figured out that they both had belly buttons!

It’s Tristan’s last day with Sabine…a little traumatizing for all involved (except Sabine…who doesn’t understand!)

Best friends are….the best!

Yes, there is a Mt. Washington in Washington…not just in New Hampshire as some people think. Mark, Sabine, Kuja and I decided to make our way up it until we found a nice place for lunch. The hike gave our quads a workout, our eyes some nice views, and Kuja got to release a lot of energy. What more could you ask for? Maybe a little swim at the end? We got that too when we stopped by Rattlesnake Lake at the end of the day!

Saturday was one of those days when I’m reminded why I love living in Seattle. We obviously love getting out into the woods on a very regular basis, but sometimes its great to just have a city day. Samuel Hunter gave us a great excuse to stay in town, and we started off the day with a birthday celebration for him in Volunteer park. The UW architecture school provided some excellent new (adult) friends for Sabine and a couple of hours in the sun with good people and good food was just the ticket.

Then in the evening, we headed to Paseos to grab sandwiches and then into the dunes at Golden Gardens park. The evening was threatening clouds, but the sun broke them up and we were treated to a perfect evening. More friends, sand, a good laughs ended our great day.

Who needs toys when you’ve got a backyard, a puddle, a dad, and a dog?
