We explored a new nearby park this morning! Utterly cool on the canal at the Ballard Locks, salmon fish ladder, and train bridge. And we saw it alllll happening, and even watched a sea lion eat salmon in the water. Just keep swimming, salmon!

Bonus park feature finale to boot!

So many secret passageways unlocked.

It’s crabapple harvesting season in the backyard and Holmes is our resident field expert.

“Hey, we know them!” We looove shrimp chips in our house, and we love learning how to make things (thank you, YouTube). Enter tonight’s learning and who showed up to teach us - none other than our Alaskan friends, Kirsten and Mandy!

My cake batter and cookie dough partner in sweet, delectable crime:)

Honey Buckets and diggers!
