Heatwave!

It was super hot over the weekend - reaching into the 90's! That's pretty rare for Seattle. To beat the heat, I took Evie on Sunday to the spray park in South Lake Union. It's pretty new and was the perfect size for her. We had gone to a different spray park a few weeks ago but there were tons of big kids and lots of shooting water jets so she was shy and didn't have much fun. This time though, she was singing and running all over the place!

Just the right size for Evie!


Afterwards, we met up with my old friend Sayo, Jae and their daughter Sophie for a little ride on the boat. Sophie is almost 1 years old and is adorable - she's a little mini Jae! She was such a content little baby, barely uttering a peep. The only time she was unhappy was when we forced her to wear the infant life vest. Evie didn't like it when she was little either. We hope they liked Seattle and can't wait for them to visit us again, maybe next time when it's snowing so we can do some snow sports!

Evie is a great first mate!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.  

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Skateboarding

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
