Sculpture Park.

This week was a camp week. Silas went the the Pacific Science Center for "Spy Camp" and Ruby went to "Bee Camp". The weather was pretty crummy, so it was nice that the kids were being entertained. The week before, we went to one of our favorite places downtown, the Sculpture Park.

Today is Saturday and tomorrow we are surprising the kids with a beach house vacation until Wednesday. We are heading out to the Washington coast and hoping to relax for a few days. HOT TUB! CRAB! BUNK BEDS! When we return, Mumu will be here and that will be awesome.

The Fourth.

As usual, the fourth of July was a beautiful day. It always marks the beginning of the summer here in Seattle and this year was no exception. The neighbors came over and the day was filled with: baking soda and vinegar rocket launches, slip and slide, sno-cones, good food, and ended with Ruby falling asleep in a chair on the front porch while the city fireworks went off around her.

Low Tide.

One of the lowest tides of the season took us down to Golden Gardens this morning. We looked for critters and found only a few, but the kids were able to play in the shallow water.
