Sunny day = Painting

It was a sunny afternoon today and the girls wanted to paint some rocks. However, the rocks were not as exciting as painting oneself. Here, Miranda demonstrates good color coordination by painting her face and hair to match her dress.



Catie slowly joins in the fun.


Erika approves with a red dot on her nose. She liked the idea of putting the paint on the rocks.


Now Catie joins in with her twin. Note Miranda's hand and with a loaded paint brush coming in for a landing.

Early bath night tonight.

Seahurst Park

It was an overcast morning, about 67F and drizzly, so we went to the beach! Well, the shores of Puget Sound. This park is about 30 min. from our house. Across the water is Vashon where Aunt Jayne lives.


Miranda did not want to get out of her jammies.

There were Naturalists on site this morning to answer questions and give out free stuff at our favorite place: the Seattle Aquarium

Catie wanted to wear a summer dress.


Not exactly the Jersey Shore, but we had fun!

Tooth fairy to visit

Erika lost her other front tooth at dinner tonight. That makes for a total of five teeth lost so far.

Paging the tooth fairy.

Fun day at splashpark

It was another sunny day in the Seattle area. We headed out to a new splash park in Snohomish. Catie gives her seal of approval.



Miranda also enjoyed running around the water.


Erika commandeered one of the umbrella sprayers.


Time for a picnic lunch to warm up before the next round of splashing.

Strawberry Picking

Summer is finally here and the strawberries are ripe. Time for our annual strawberry picking outing with friends. Below, Erika surveys the field.



Catie likes to sample her berries.


Miranda shows off the berries she picked. Some were a bit riper than others, but she was enthusiastic about picking.


A view from the farm. Note the Cascades in the background.
