Turns out, when you have a waterproof phone case, you can get phone calls too! Party on in the pool with Grandpa!

Dad and daughter (w/ Lummi) bubble tea date night!

Another round of Lightening Talks with the Seattle Aquarium! We learned about sea otters tonight, like how they’re warm blooded mammals, they don’t have blubber, but they do have lots of hair with air inside! And to help sea otters, we learned to #respectthenap.

We’re learning about the wilds of nature thanks to a subscription to National Geographic from Xanna!

A street full of construction vehicles working to replace utility poles, water inside of tulips, rocks (always rocks), deep down utility meters covered with bugs and slugs, and a kid who wasn’t a kid. Always something!

Summertime food in Spring!

We acquired (by imagination) a second pool this afternoon. First being our blue kiddie pool, and now this brown wonder. All the more exciting when you get to show it off to Xanna:)

Shirts off to a sunny weekend! Let’s just say eating outside offers a lots of distractions:) Thank you, Lola, for creating the “pit stop” style of eating…she puts together a bite and the kids swoop through for a mouthful on their way to do something else.

We capped a sunny Friday with a walk with Grandpa!

We learned lots about Grandpa’s walker and wheelchair:)

Holmes quite enjoyed hanging out with Grandpa and getting his back scratched. Grandpa enjoyed it too:)

Well, Lummi one-upped Grandpa by swallowing a sock. Thanks to peroxide, we got her to throw it up. And the kids decided running up and down Margy’s driveway was the perfect way to pass time while we were waiting. (Thanks, Margy!)

Might as well practice swimming in the tub with blowing bubbles amidst bubbles.
