Hot tub

Per Cecily: "This is the life"

Birthday dessert with Papa & Kathy

Dad & Kathy brought us dessert and birthday presents for the kids.  Along with two of the fancy spinning/singing candles.  It was a pretty exciting evening.

The Hot Tub is in!

It took 4 guys two days, a moving trailer, 2 electricians, and approximately 14,000 man-hours for Keith & Me, but the hot tub is finally in and working!!

Of course, in these photos, the water's not actually hot, but the kids don't care.

End of Summer

Parker didn't want to pick out his clothes today, so he let Cecily do it.  He's wearing a long-sleeved shirt under the sweater and it's going to be 80+ out today, whatever.

End-of-summer doughnuts

Happy Birthday Parker!

When it's your birthday, you get to decide the plan, so MoPop and Mod Pizza it is.

Parker LOVES this place.  Because she can't do it perfectly on her first try, Cecily hates this part.

She, however, loved the fashion section so much, we went through it twice.  Parker, on the other hand, was so freaked out by the mannequins, he had to bail out early.  Children are weird.

Happy Birthday Parker!  We love you!!

Evergreen State Fair

Time for our annual Fair Day!

We saw animals and stuff, but let's be honest, all the kids care about is the rides.

Seattle Center & Children's Museum

This was our first week without plans for most of the summer, so the kids wanted to head down to the Seattle Children's Museum.  I think we were originally headed to the Science Center, but we ended up at the Children's Museum.

The kids packed their own lunches.  Cecily brought a rice cake/butter sandwich, and a can of pineapple chunks.
