First Baseball Game

The girls' first Mariner's Game! It was sooooo fun - they got special cookies, baseball cards, and fun in the play area. And, we had amazing seats!!!! Fun, beautiful night....

Climbing!

How do they come up with this stuff? Should I be worried or should I just continue to snap pictures?! :)

New ways to use slides....

Lots of visitors!

Every year, our East Coast cousins come out to Seattle for a family trip (other side of the family) and we always get a little time with them - this year, we played at the playground and then went to the best Thai restaurant around! My whole family came down to see Carolyn, Paul, Sam, and Max. So fun! And, Jon, Gabe, Ama, and Daco even stayed for a slumber party!

Then, right after I left for my faculty "retreat" :), Mike's best friend, Billy, came to visit with his wife and daughter, Amy and Soph. Apparently, the three little girls had a GREAT time playing together. I was sad to miss them....

Finally, best babysitter EVER (is it because she's an ER nurse or because she's a compulsive cleaner? Not sure...) and good friend, Mel, came down to watch the girls while I spent a couple more days at school. It was so fun. I wish she would leave Canada and move into our basement! And, I can't believe I didn't take any pictures :( The girls miss you, Mel!

Green Lake Wading Pool - ahhhhh, summer!

A relaxing family Friday night....
