End of summer

By
I'll post shortly about our fun Labor Day plans but for now, here's some pics from our quick pit stop at Golden Gardens beach. We were in the area because Scott needed to do some work at the boat, and I had forgotten that there's a semi-decent sandy beach in Ballard! It's too bad the water was too seaweedy for the girls to have any interest in going in, and that we forgot all of our beach toys at home. Oh well, they still found stuff to do to stay occupied - like doing cartwheels in the sand and trying to make a mermaid tail out of sand!

Ready! Set! ...

Handstand! Don't be too impressed - she held this for about less than a second.

    Fun! We spent Labor Day at the beach too! I think it's pretty hilarious that your girls are making sand mermaids while my boys are making sand Star Destroyers...

Happy new year!!

By
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.

Alaska Cruise

We got back from our week long cruise to Alaska and ready to go again! We all had a great time but really the best part of our trip was all the family time we spent with my parents, Way and her family and Kin and his family. I think the last time we all vacationed together was back in 2015 when we all went to Kauai . It was so long ago that not all the littles had even been born yet! So yes, a big family vacay was long overdue. The kiddos loooooved spending time with their cousins, whether it was playing bingo or ping pong, or biking and hiking or just hanging out at meal time or playing mahjong. It helped that since we were all on vacation mode, we didn't push (too hard) on eating healthy or limiting screentime. It also really helped that the service on the ship was so accommodating to the kids and (pretty good) pizza, ice cream and drinks were available at all hours.  I was happy with the ship we picked too. The Quantum of the Seas is nearly 20 years old (first sailed in 2014) bu...

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.
