A nite in our old hood

We love going back to Phinney to visit our pal Vivienne, her little brother Winston and his parents Jeff and Steph. Evie and Vivienne are thick as thieves and play wonderfully together. Vivienne is definitely more adventurous but Evie more talkative so they balance each other out well.

On Sunday afternoon, we met up to play in the South Lake Union Waterpark for some water play. Afterwards, we headed to The Yard, a pub down the street from where we used to live. It was a place on our radar we always wanted to check out and I'm so glad we finally did. I know that if we had stayed in Phinney, it would have become one of our fav spots - LOTS of beer choices and very kid friendly. After dinner, we even walked over to Bluebird to get ice cream. Bluebird was where Evie had her very first ice cream cone several years ago so it brought back some great memories!

Everyone loves Uncle Scott!

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.
