10 Fun Things from Summer

The summer is flying by and we have enjoyed being outside a lot. This is not all inclusive list but these are a few of the things we have been enjoying as a family. 

1. Going to friends birthday parties. It seems like we have celebrated a lot of kid's birthdays this summer. The kids love it!

Happy Birthday Rowe! 

Happy birthday Daniel! 

2. Swimming in Lake Washington with friends or  family after work. Matthews Beach is close to the children's hospital which is a nice. Photo credit: Kelsey Moll.

3. Doing monthly Little Passports that come in the mail with Leighton (Sadie occasionally)- Great gift idea Mimi! 

(this month was learning about animals)

4. Throwing rocks or swimming at South Lake Union beach (if we aren't at spray park).

5. Taking walks. All day everyday.

6. If we are indoors they are either playing house or we try to do an activity at table like dry erase markers

7. They still love dressing up. Sadie insisted on wearing this disguise toboggan/wig and glasses even though it was 80 degrees to the nursing home a couple weeks ago. She is a funny person.

8. Cruising down the Burke Gilman to Gas Work Park on the bikes. Well I should say Leighton now rides her pedal bike while we push Sadie in stroller still. Sadie has enjoyed taking over the balance bike… she needs to grow a few more inches first but she tries.

9. As their mom, I love finding Sadie in Leighton's lap while she reads :)

10. And camping of course! 

Basically there has been a lot of water and sand action this summer with a few other activities in between! Summer is my favorite season in Seattle but also the most tiring!
