Doing lots, posting little
We’ve recently had some trouble with our blogs, so we haven’t been up to speed on posting regularly like I was trying to do before all the trouble started! Nevertheless, we have been busy!
Most recently we went to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma with my mom when she visited. Most importantly, there were sharks! There are lots of pictures at the Tacoma Zoo picture album.
We also went hiking at Deception Pass with my mom. This turned out to be an all day event! We drove up to Anacortes, eventually found a beach but weren’t sure where the trail was exactly. The Boo adored the beach though, he spent a good long time collecting and then throwing rocks into the water. He was very disagreeable when we finally did find the hiking trail, but after strapping him on my back where he briefly fell asleep, we got some hiking in. He was awake for the hike back and did the whole thing himself! (It was nearly a mile). One strange thing about Deception Pass — there were air force jets going by almost constantly. It was extremely noisy. Strange since it was also so desolate and beautiful at the same time!
The week before that we went to the Reptile Zoo in Monroe with some friends. There are pics in the Reptile Zoo picture album, but be forewarned, most of the pictures are of the Boo pointing at snakes! There’s even a picture of a two headed turtle. The Reptile Zoo was interesting, but sort of sad. Some of the animals didn’t seem to have very happy living environments, while others seemed fine. Either way, the Boo was amazed!
Today we did another new activity — a boat ride around Lake Union and the shipping canal! We were invited to a party on our friends’ boat which is conveniently moored very close to our house! We were planning on being on the water for 2 hours but ended up being out for 4! The kids loved it. Silly us forgot our camera so I hope we are invited out again.
Two more fun trips were discussed — picking strawberries at Remlinger Farms, and the ice cream cruise. Hopefully we’ll do those soon!
