Sunny Saturday!

We found a fun beach in Seattle to play on this beautiful Pacific Northwest day.

 

Then we rode our bikes to the Ballard Locks.  We saw several boats go through the locks.  The most fun were this Argossy ship and a tugboat that was so large it had to go through the big locks.

 

Then we rode back to the beach to play until dark!

An impromptu trip to the zoo on a somewhat dreary day yesterday gave Nathan and Mom one on one interactions with all of the animals as the zoo was nearly empty of people.  We had this mama tiger and her three cubs all to ourselves.  Nathan also got a solo ride on the carousel.

Beautiful day for a picnic!

First Snowshoeing of the Season

We're a little late this year.  Busy schedules and lack of snow are to blame.  But we did finally get out to snowshoe on MLK Day. 

 

In our trench for a major snowball fight.

Our destination.

Happy 5th Birthday, Sweet Nathan!

Within three weeks of turning 4, Nathan learned to ride his bike without training wheels, learned to write his name without any coaching, and was swimming like a fish--all because he had decided that those were things that 4 year olds do.  We can't wait to see what happens in the next three weeks! 

 

Sunny (Mostly) San Diego

We were in San Diego for what some locals told us was the coldest week of the year.  But we bundled up (sometimes in all of our clothes at once) and had a great trip with Oma and Grandpa Al.
