New water and sand table! And, a watering hole for Lummi.

 We’re gearing up for the big girl bed switch! Meryl loves her new quilt and R2-D2 and BB-8 beanbags, at least while they’re in the living room. Her crib and glider chair will adorn the office next. With part-time pre-school starting in September and big-sister status in November, we’re trying to not layer too much ‘new’ in Meryl’s life at once...though I know we’ll be dreaming about crib confinement in a week:)

Even the hovercraft close behind agrees!

Filling-up on fun!

 Reaching for the beach continues! This time, we headed just below the house to the Olympic Sculptue Park, where we discovered purple and black seaweed.

Frank’s Dad has an inscription at the Olympic Scultpure Park as well, so we get to visit Lolo when we’re there too!

 It’s hot, so we hit the beach to beat the heat! Lummi had a blast romping in the water with her friends, and Meryl discovered green seaweed and brown kelp!

 Thank goodness way too many things catch her interest to slow her down!

Cure for the heat! And then she spoke volumes ‘at volume’ allllll the way home on her sugar high:)

Line up: McKinley, Ada, Meryl, Kalgin, and Will!

 ...And the Homer pottery obsession continues!
