Seattle!

How fitting that Dom was a member of the "Safari Club" (look on the stroller) Too much fun! Time to take a nap :) He took a big nap while being pushed around the park. He is also holding the Moose from the Mariners game the night before.
So we spent like 5 minoutes watching the Hippos walk into the water... didn't know if they were going to have to take a break before they actually got there. I guess 20 feet is a really long way to go for a Hippo!

Here are the Flamingos Dom was eyeing

When you run out of bread you just throw rocks right?
Gabi trying to get a closer look at the goslings, they were so cute!

Looks like someone was a little scared again :)

Not this guy though, cool as a cucumber!

A little snuggle time
Somewhere towards the end of the "fish" project, there was face painting...
Not quite sure of all the details.
Here is one of the braves sporting her war paint

We attempted to make scones...it was fun!
Too bad the end product wasn't the best.
I guess you really do have to follow the recipie...
Sorry Morgan, guess we need your help next time:)

Bloomsday 2009!


We planned on meeting up with the Deulings, but Lisa didn't get much sleep the night before and had a difficult time leaving the house so we ended up getting there just in time for the delayed start of the stroller section. So we end up starting at the very back of the pack, but we worked our way through dodging left and right. I remember having to say "excuse me, just trying to catch up with my 85 year old Grandpa!" as he sped away from me! We kept a pretty good pace, in my opinion, at two hours ten minutes. We all had a great time especially Gabi. I think she might have been a little overwelmed in the begining with the crowd. She kept hiding under her blanket. She was the perfect little passenger even if she wasn't feeling her best, she didn't show it! She kept us going throughout the 7.5 miles with a smile on her face!


So we did finally catch up with the Deulings after the race and shared some snacks before heading home. Here is Isaiah and Gabi sporting thier race shirts. Gabi was playing peek a boo :)


Gabi wanted to show off her own running skills on the way home as we walked back to our car. Here are the geese we stopped to talk to. They were definately not afraid of people, but I think Gabi was a little afraid of them! She didn't want to get any closer.
