This weekend we have loved having some time to hang out and play. Greg is actually in Europe for 11 days for Microsoft, so mama is holding down the fort. So, for our three-day weekend, we are only the Fearless Four, rather than our usual Fab Five!
On Saturday am, I took the kids to the Kitsap Harbor Festival to see a car show and enjoy a little carnival. We took the ferry there and back, which the kids loved. Andrew loved the car show, of course, especially the part where he got to sit in the cars. Oh, and the part where a nice man GAVE him a toy car. Wow, that made Drew’s day, of course! On this little outing, we also walked along the shore during the very low tide, viewing lots of starfish and such. The festival itself was a bit lame, if you ask me, but the kids had fun.
On Sunday, we went to the little town of Snoqualmie to ride the Snoqualmie Train. Even though we have done this before, the kids didn’t remember it. So, they loved it. The weather was rainy and grey, so it was a calm ride through the wet countryside. The ride ends with a fabulous view of the Snoqualmie valley and waterfall. We had to visit the candy shop before the train ride, of course. I was a softie and let the kids each get a handful of salt water taffy for the train ride! After all of the train activities were done, we stopped to see the Falls, which were very beautiful with all of the recent snowmelt. A great day! Only three more days of school, and then we get to play all summer!
