A Long Weekend of Play

Karen and Todd took Friday off since both Katelyn and Travis had no school and Papa, Greg, my ex, was arriving in the morning.

We did some planting outdoors...

Chatted and colored...

We took all of us to South Beach to play and look for more sea glass.

The Rock and Stick Drumming Circle Band...

Bonanza!

Then home for a dinner all together, and

after the kids were asleep, I got creamed in Scrabble by two of the best players that I know! Time for bed!

Saturday, let's fill the pool. Why are you wearing Mommy's new running shoes?

Pool time with friends (as well as morning swimming class and afternoon gymnastics)

Scrabble with help. 

OMG! What a blast! Travis was determined to join us, but liked to have the letters all blank side up. Works for me...I can spell anything that way, but no points!

Our Sunday adventure was a family bike ride over the locks to Golden Gardens. Ready to go! Of course, Karen is not in the picture because she is taking it. Todd and I rode the tandem, Papa rode with Katelyn on the trailer bike, and Karen rode with Travis in the baby seat.

Big ship coming into the lock.

Same ship seen from Golden Gardens Beach moving out of Puget Sound with the Olympic Mountains in the background.

Fun beach time

Hey, that's MY hat!

Travis actually took this picture. Katelyn helped by positioning herself in front of where he was aiming the camera.

A busy day outside and now a book before bedtime. We are the Flannel Shirt Gang.

"Dig, dig, dig. A mole was digging a hole. Dig, dig, dig. A dog was digging a hole under a stone to bury a bone."

Back to school and work for all the young ones tomorrow. Greg and I get to just hang out and play. Sounds like a plan!
