In the forest wearing "guy"

Erika's favorite jumper is called "guy". She can't seem to go a day without it. Her other favorite shirt is the red one with the race car which she was wearing in the previous beach video. It's called "go-go".

What could be more fun than body slamming stuffed pal, Katzenfutter, to the dirty ground again and again!?

Erika Meets the Pacific Ocean

We just returned from visiting the Oregon coast. Erika's big cousin Andy got married out there and a fantastic time was had by all. While the rest of the US was scorching hot, it was about 70F the whole time on the coast as usual for the summer. We enjoyed it greatly.



Erika is really enthusiastic about trying on sandals. Yours, mine, hers, it does not matter. Over and over and over again! 

Meet the hose

What better time to get acquainted with hydrodymanics than a lazy summer day? Here Erika appears to have violated the laws of physics with a stream of water.

Happy 4th of July!

We explored Marymoor Park today. It's really large, but cupcake was not much interested in plowing it with this tractor. In one area, dogs are permitted to run free of leashes, and we thought cupcake would like to see all the doggies jumping in the river and all that, but nope.Being sniffed by two great danes (they looked like small horses!) and hearing other dogs bark with joy while fetching (lots of fetching going on everywhere) she was rather overwhealmed and so we moved on.
Tonight's fireworks will be throwing stuffed animals out of the crib and shouting "boom!" She's been practicing for some time at this.
