We checked off another summer bucket list item, the Summer Reading Program at our local library. For every book the girls were read, they colored a book on the reading program sheet and after 10 books, they got a half-way prize and after 20 they got the final prize, except we never made it in to the library after the first 10 so we got both prizes the same day. The half-way prize was a bookmark with a little paper shovel on it that contains seeds to plant, and the final prize was a book bag.
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.
