Oh what a busy week

Well it has been a busy week here is Seattle so I should have lots of great pictures to post right? Well not really as I just never seemed have my camera along at the right time. The week started on Sunday by running into my friend Sarah and her family at Matthew's beach. It was a cloudy day so I had just planned to feed the ducks and play at the park there, but Max and Zoe had other ideas. As soon as they saw Sarah's boys in the water in their swim suits, they too thought playing in 60 degree water was fun. I wasn't prepared so an impromtu skinny dipping took place.

Monday was 4th of July holiday and the biggest celebration in Seattle is held at Gasworks park about 5 blocks from our house. That means that our neighborhood is overrun and that we get to walk to all the festivities. There is a massive blow up statue of liberty head that had been there all week. For some reason M and Z started calling it "Our lady of the horns", and they weren't very happy to be around her as she was "Too big, Too scary." They kids enjoyed watching all the people and going on the bouncy houses, but we headed home to BBQ as we have a great view of the fireworks from our deck.

The rest of the week included 2 beach trips, zoo class and circus class, 3 play dates, the opening of the local wading pool, my first solo swim trip with both of them, numerous trips to the park, and 3 really long bike rides. So this afternoon we decided to stay home and garden and pants were strictly optional:)
