Kubota Gardens

Last weekend we visited the Kubota Japanese gardens when Grammie and Grandpa were in town. This was a new-to-us garden and we were pretty impressed with it! It's very well maintained and much much bigger than we anticipated. We spent a good couple of hours wandering around and enjoying the fall colors. We would have explored more but stomachs were grumbling and people were getting tired. I will put this on my list of places to go back to in the spring when flowers start to bloom.

Wide open spaces to run around

The girls had fun finding "tunnels"

Secret hideaway under the maple trees

Lots of different pond and water features, this one below this pagoda lookout.
more bridges

Lots of bridges to walk across, and opportunities to spy koi fish.

We love when Grammie and Grandpa visit!

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.  

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.  

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
