Yesterday the boys talked Chad into heading down to the Space Needle for a ride up the elevator. It was a beautiful day! We had a rare clear view of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker.












Since it was 85* we also found some fun fountains and such to play in.

















The boys have quickly figured out they can talk their father into pretty much anything!

One of my boys favorite summertime activities is boating and "waveboarding" with their Uncle Colin. They tubed a little bit last year, but were pretty unsure they liked it. This year however they can't get enough!

Chad has a serious issue with cold water so there was no getting him in the water

Always the competitors, they decided to see who could flip the other off faster. Youth won out, Colin could not be dumped!

My youngest son turned 4 on July 9th this year! With Owen's birthday falling in the summer and Chad always working out of town that time of year, we'd never really had a big bash for him like Aidan has had. So this year I decided to rectify that! He decided he wanted the party to be at my grandparents pool and have a pirate theme and we ran with it. There is a great pirate supply store in downtown Seattle and we found some great costume pieces and decorations. We had a blast planning it, and I think our guests had as good of a time attending.

Everybody had to come in character...




My grandma made the boys pirate capes, which they loved and Aidan is still wearing it constantly two weeks later!

A few months ago while on a family vacation, my grandpa and I came across a kid-sized zipline at a playground and we thought it was the greatest idea ever and we needed to build one at the farm. So for weeks my dad, grandpa and husband planned and finally and built it for the party. It was the hit of the day for the young...


...and old!
As if a 200ft zipline 15ft off the ground wasn't enough, they decided to attach a rope so someone on the ground could pull my dangling children along for a faster ride!
