So I am not, by nature, a fun mommy. I am a hardworking, let my kids play on their own mommy. But this summer, I have decided to take my kids to have fun more often. And, it has been FUN! (Having older kids is the best!)
A few weeks ago we went to the Locks to see the Salmon running. It was incredible.
It is really fun to see the boats in the Locks.
The last week we also had a fun night with a bunch of cousins. Derek's cousin Blake Bunton and family came to stay with us. This is the best pic of Liddie that I got (she is the one with her head down). She is 8 and the girls love having a cousin their age. Emma and Kaj love these cousins too! The Buntons will stay here one more night on their way home from Alaska, so I'll try to get a better pic.
Edmonds City Park has a new splash park. It was amazing. We went with a few friends from church.
We are so lucky living next to Cromwell park. It was the Shoreline "Swinging Summer Eve" on Wednesday. We got cheap Sno-cones, cotton candy, bouncy house time, and most importantly (to the kids) free face painting! We saw a bunch of friends from school and were reminded how much we love our community!
We also met up on Friday with some friends from church at Richmond Beach Library Park. We played for about an hour, then it was preschool story time. The kids went in and colored and listened to stories. Bonus! It was as if I planned to be there for the story time!
Friday we were supposed to go to the Seattle Center to splash in the wading pool and fountain. It was raining, so we stayed home for some much needed R&R (and a chance for mom to get work done!) Whew, being a fun mommy is tiring!
