The girls' birthday is coming up at the end of February so it's time to start planning their party. I bought two Groupons to a party supply store in Redmond that I have to use on two different days (but I'll end up getting $40 worth of stuff for only $20, whereas the same $40 worth of stuff would have cost me $30 if I'd have only bought one Groupon), so we went today for round one. The girls of course chose two different themes: Tangled (Olivia) and Spongebob (Kayley). Interesting combination, but letting them each pick whatever they wanted was the only fair thing to do.
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
