Fun at the Seattle Center

Today we met up with a group of my friends at the Seattle Center. There was a big fountain there that we were completely unprepared for. We didn't know that the kids could go in it, so we didn't bring extra clothes or towels or anything. That didn't stop the kids from going in though - nor did the fact that it was like 60 degrees outside.

The fountain, it sprayed water to music, all kinds of music - I even heard it play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" once

Me about to get my first taste of sushi

You can see by my expression exactly what I thought about it too

AJ, Andrew, and their friends Ethan and Gibson in the fountain

Andrew didn't like his shirt being wet so he took it off - that's Bumbershoot being set up in the background

Andrew stole my hoodie and snuggled down for a snack

AJ had to wear an extra sweatshirt of Corey's because it was all we had in the car

I thought this picture turned out kind of cool

The whole group of us together

Another trip to Jetty Island

We went to Jetty Island on Wednesday with my friends Kristi and April, their kiddos, and Kristi's mom and sister and cousin. Kristi was kind enough to get us reservations so we didn't have to wait in line or chance not getting on the ferry.

It was a really nice day, it's windy on the island so we weren't noticing how hot it really was. I got a bit of a sunburn!

I was busy visiting and didn't get too many pictures.

Our little "camp"

Welcome to the jungle

Today we met some friends at Jungle Playland in Mt. Vernon.

Jungle Playland is a great place for the kids to run crazy, and the whole play area is visible from the seating area so I don't need to hover. I wish it was closer.

Park playdate with April, Cindy, and their boys.

We met my friends April and Cindy at a new park today, it was a lot of fun. The park had really cool equipment to play on. April and Cindy each have 2 boys, as do I, so we had 6 boys total today!

I might have more pictures later, I need to ask April and Cindy if I can post pictures that include their children.
