Summer To-Do List

Now that summer is fast approaching and the girls are a little older I have a whole list of things I want to do with them.  I was thinking the other day about how I used to love all the different festivals at the Seattle Center (Folk Life (arts/music), Bite of Seattle (food), Bumbershoot (music) and it made me think of the fountain and how fun it would be to let the girls play in it.

  • There is a park in Olympia (near where Paul's parents live) that has these things that shoot water that would also be fun for them.
  • We still haven't been to the Children's Museum.  We were going to go one day last November but they woke up with colds that day.
  • Lake Sammamish State Park
  • Pet store.  Got this idea from someone on a message board.  Good rainy day activity to go to a pet store and just let them look at all the cute animals and fish.
  • Mariner's Game.  Yeah, they suck, but the games are still fun and Olivia is kind of into baseball now after seeing kids playing at our neighborhood ballpark and seeing a Dora episode about it.
  • Fox Hollow Equestrian Center - site of the infamous missed playdate due to lack of parking.  Now I'm determined to take them there and actually get to go in.
  • Kidz Bounce.  A place with bouncy houses and/or ball pits, etc.
  • The trains (real steam engines, etc. circa late 1890s/early 1900s) that are on display in our town.  You can just walk along a path and look at 'em and I think there's a museum, too, but I'd be more inclined to just walk on a nice day.
So there you have it.  Those are things that we've never done before, but we'll also be going to the zoo several times as they got zoo passes for their birthday.  I think we're definitely in for a busy summer!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
