A Great Weekend

This weekend so far has been so enjoyable and relaxing. Yesterday here in Lynnwood it was in the 70's and sun shining! After Clifford came home from preschool the boys' were outside just about all day. We started at the playground here at home. After Pete came home from work, we put shorts on and walked about 10 minutes to Martha Lake. It's a kewl little lake where you can fish off the dock, take a boat out on the lake, a playground for kids, and a section of the lake roped off to wade/swim in. The boys went straight for the water (pics to come later). We even saw a mamma duck with all her little baby ducks-so adorable!!! We were there for a little under an hour, then made our way back home. Pete went to work out in the weight room while the rest of us headed back for the playground. For dinner, we bbq'd some delicious burgers and lounged out on our patio.

Today it was cloudy and a little rainy, so we felt like going for a hike!! We went back to Meadowdale Park. I love the hike-it's short and simple for the kids (although Kristjan cries and whines at every hike we do). The kids played in the sand, and pete and I walked around in the sand w/o our shoes-so relaxing. Clifford and I took a mini-walk on the beach. We felt so bad for this one guy-his boat was tied up close to shore, with the boat practically submerged in water!! (pics to come later) He said the boat started filling with water all of a sudden and they had to jump ship. Everyone who came to the beach (and those out in boats on the water) had to come over and take pics. Poor guy.
