Summer Bucket List 2015
It's that time of year again! Time to set some fun goals for summer 2015! Mommy has had a list in progress already and we were able to check some things off during spring break and in May since the weather has been so nice and warm and sunny! We'll check back in September to see how many fun things we were able to do this year!

May 2015
We had SO much fun in May! The weather was beautiful and mommy and I took advantage of all the sunny, warm days. We had super fun Saturdays together, fun after-work dates, relaxing evenings at home, and grandpa took me fun places on our special Fridays together. I also had lots of fun at nana's house with swimming lessons and errands together, and I always have fun during my overnights at daddy's house.
We started May off with bouncy house night with Charlotte at the Bellevue Club. We tried to take pictures after but Charlotte and I would not cooperate!
One sunny Saturday, I rode my bike to Nana's house and spent awhile digging in Nana's garden for roly-poly potato bugs, one of my favorite things! I love digging and collecting bugs! We were so tired and hot afterward that we called grandma and grandpa for a ride home!
After work and school one Monday, mommy took me out to the Issaquah Highlands to a park that has really fun, steep slides. It was a lot of fun to check out but it was super windy so we didn't stay long! Of course, we stopped for chocolate chip frappuccinos on our way home!
The forecast was so nice that mommy and I planned a family trip to the river! We wanted to show grandma and grandpa the fun bridge and river spot we went to with daddy last month. The word spread about our river plans and we were so excited that Natalie, Charlotte, Henry, and Nana and Grandpa Dick and Aunt Julie and Mike all came, too! We had so much fun! It was super warm and sunny and we hiked from our usual spot all the way to the suspension bridge with Grandma, Uncle Sam and grandpa Dick. Charlotte and I had so much fun playing in the river! We can't wait to spend lots of summer mornings and the river!
We had a few fun campout-movie-popcorn nights! Sometimes we just get comfy blankets and snuggle for a movie, but sometimes we even "campout" all night and sleep in living room! I also played car racing video games with Uncle Sam. I love my hot wheels and fast cars!
Mommy came to pick me up one day from an overnight with daddy and we were both asleep on the couch for a nap! Daddy must have worn me out in the morning! Once I finally woke up, mommy took me to Chism Beach on our way home. It was super warm and sunny and we even stopped by Jimmy John's to bring a picnic dinner with us!
Grandpa sometimes spoils me with super fun Friday when he's home from work. One day earlier this month, he took me out to Snoqualmie Falls! We also got to stop by the train depot in Snoqualmie. We had fun checking out all the trains! I can't wait to go back for a train ride one day! This most recent Friday, grandpa took me to the zoo! Mommy has been wanting to take me since we have our membership but we've been so busy on the weekends and haven't had a chance to go during the week when mom's working. I was so excited for our fun day and the zoo, plus the weather was supposed to be super warm and sunny! It was really crowded with end-of-the-year field trips but grandpa and I had lots of fun anyways. I also got to ride the carousal first thing and had the entire carousal to myself! Grandpa even got a couple pictures on his phone! We saw the new tigers and I got to play at three of the different little playgrounds. I also got to pick out three crushed pennies! When Mommy got home that afternoon, we were out riding bikes! Even after our busy morning at the zoo! Grandpa is the best!
We had a really nice Memorial day weekend (separate blog post) and we ended May with some strawberry picking! Mommy and I went out Saturday morning to Harvold's Farm in Carnation and picked lots of strawberry's! We had so much fun together and there were so many ripe strawberries that it didn't take long at all to pick more than we needed! We drove home through Snoqualmie and stopped by the train depot. We got my crushed penny that we forgot to get the day we rode the train. We also hung around awhile to look at all the trains. We watched as the train loaded up with passengers and waved to everyone as they took off. That night, Siena and Francesca came over to be babysat and we had so much fun playing outside! We played in the backyard and ordered pizza for dinner. We also rode bike's and scooters and took turns in the wagon. A lot of neighbor friends came out o play for a little, too. When it was getting a little late, we came in for popcorn movie night and watched Big Hero 6. What a super fun day!
We had a fabulous month of May! I can't believe all the fun special things we crammed into a single month, especially with everyone still working and school days. I can't imagine all the wonderful things we'll be able to do this summer when mommy has time off work! We definitely don't take all this time together and memories for granted. We cherish every moment and all the fun things we do. And hopefully the early summer weather we've been having will stick around all summer long!

Spring Break 2015
We had so much fun this Spring Break! Mommy had the whole week off and we did so many fun things! The weather didn't quite cooperate during the first part week but mommy still wanted to go do some things we've never done before. Monday was rainy and mommy babysat for a little so we didn't do much. On Tuesday, we went to ride my bike around Greenlake. It was chilly and it rained here and there but we had a good time. And I made it all away around the lake on my bike! That's 3 miles! I was getting a little tired and cranky because I fell at the very end. I really wanted to stay and play on the playground but Mommy was cold and tired also so she said if we went home and I took a nap, we would go to the mall in the afternoon for frozen yogurt and to go to the Lego store. I got to buy my first "big boy" Lego set and that evening we built my pirate set I picked out. We also got out uncle Sam's bucket of old Legos to play with. What a fun and busy day!
On Wednesday, we decided to go to the Ballard Locks! It wasn't raining (yay!) and the sun came out by the time we drove into Seattle. It was beautiful! We had so much fun and I really enjoyed the boats! Right when we got there, we saw boats going through the locks and it was really exciting. As we were watching, we also heard a train coming and it passed by over the train trestle! That was super exciting! And the train was so long, it just kept going! We walked over closer to the train trestle and spent some time eating a snack on the hill. As we walked back, we got to see another group of boats going through the locks. One sail boat had a super tall mast so they had to open the train trestle on the other side to let it through. We got to see so many great things on our trip! We also stopped by Hotcakes in Ballard for yummy cookies on our way home!
We were looking forward to Thursday because the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny and we planned a fun hike with Grandpa Dick. Alyssa and the girls came with us and we had a wonderful time! It was a little chilly at the trail head near Snoqualmie Pass but it was still sunny and we knew we'd warm up while we hiked. The trail was muddy and there was even quite a bit of snow along the trail. Siena and I had so much fun walking through the snow and making snowballs! We got to Denny Creek and we had to cross the river to get to the big flat rock slides. We were so grateful to have Alyssa with us! She was a pro at crossing the river and balancing and getting us all across, even Grandpa Dick! We had such a fun time playing on the rocks and throwing rocks into a pool. We can't wait to go back during the summer! When it will be super warm and we can play in the water! On our way home, we went with grandpa Dick to Scotts Dairy Freeze and got yummy hamburgers and milkshakes!
On Friday, I went to Daddy's house for Aunt Toni's birthday and to sleep over. I always have fun at daddy's house playing with my toys and playing outside. I also love sleeping in my Mickey Mouse bed. We also had yummy dinner and birthday cupcakes!
We can't quite remember what we did the last weekend of spring break. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures from then so it's hard to remember what happened! I waited too long to write this post so it's all a blur. What I do know is that we had such a great Spring Break and did lots of fun new things we haven't done before!
