Mary & Greg stopped in on their way to Idaho for a weekend. We checked out Remlinger Farms with the Heavilands. What a fun place! Thanks Nana for the groupon!
It was so fun that Colter was able to do the majority of the rides including a pony ride!
He also went on a canoe ride with his cousins and I just about jumped over the fence and into the water when I thought Colter was going overboard. Really he just wanted to touch the water and break away from James' death grip.
We also tried out a new park called OO Denny Park. It was a fantastic park with wide open spaces, lots of rocks to throw, and plenty of water.
We've seen caspar babypants twice this summer. The first time was at a UVillage summer concert series where Colter took a picture with the UW husky. I wasn't sure what he'd think of a mascot, but of course the fact that it was a dog helped!
I am a HUGE fan of libraries. I think my love started back when I was a kid and I would participate in the summer reading programs. I think they are absolutely fantastic. My feelings about libraries went up another notch after going to a carnival put on for FREE at a local library. Free train rides, bouncy houses, stickers, crafts, story time, bubbles, chalk, and even free tattoos. (Colter looked like such a rebel with his book reading otter tattoo).
One of my favorite highlights of the summer was going to see the Blue Angels. I've always wanted to go, but i've been intiminated by the crowds. My sis has the brillant idea to go on a practice day. Still busy, but not overwhelming. We camped out at a beach, and got an amazing show. Colter also loves planes and can spot them even when they're super far away. I need to record the sound he makes but it's basically like a loud rocket.
One weekend we went to the Magnolia Summer Parade. My sister had described the parade as the "best parade ever" so we were pretty stoked. It was QUITE an upgrade from Edmonds' advertising parade. The only advertising really in this one was a bank that was handing out free ice cream so I'll take that advertising! The kids loved it!
I wish I took more pictures at our various play dates, but we've been having lots of fun at different friend's houses playing outside in the water, and just enjoying the sun! Other than all this fun, I've pretty much been soaking up my days wandering around with this little man

oh Becky your post is so creative. The pictures perfect. I is so fun to see that sun so bright on your faces. I have such a passion for libraries and the Blue Angels too...like mother like daughter. I will support libraries forever...a place where for free, anyone can explore and learn. It opens up the world to people who may have very little.
The farm and the library free event looked so great for all the young ages.
