A fun weekend!!!

Well, we have had a really fun weekend enjoying the nice weather. It started on Friday, when my friend, Sara, and I took our kids up to a new park that has a spray pad. It was so much fun and the kids had a great time. They loved playing in the water and playing in the park that was next to it. Here are a couple of pics we took of the kids.

On Saturday, we went with our friends, The Kilgores, down to lake Washington and rented canoes and went canoeing. It was so much fun. We had wanted to rent a couple of row boats that seat 4, but they were all out, so we had to rent 3 canoes instead. Trevor took Lorin and Taigan with him. I went with Sara and Abby and Josh had Alex. Sara and I were not the best paddlers in the world. We managed to run into a bank, so we wouldn't run into another canoe and we managed to run into a tree. It was so funny, and at least we provided a lot of entertainment for our spouses, our children and the others on the lake. Here are some pics we took.

We are definitely enjoying our summer as I'm sure you can tell. We hope everyone else is having a great summer and doing some fun things. We are very excited, because my parents are arriving tomorrow and we have a fun filled week planned.

A first for me

So, last night I had a brand new experience. I attended my very first concert, and not just any concert, but a rock concert! Trevor's boss and his wife took us to see the Foo Fighters! Now I know what all of you are thinking, and you're right, it's not really my kind of music. But, it was so awesome! Luckily I had brought ear plugs which made the volume level just about perfect. I must admit that I liked a lot of thier songs and the show they put on was so much fun. Before we went to the concert, we walked around the Seattle Center, and since it was such a beautiful day, we went to the top of the Space Needle. That's the first time Trevor and I have done that. The view was spectacular because it was so clear yesterday. We also ate at this restaurant called Moxie. The food was really good. I had some of the best salmon I think I've ever had and it came with candied peaches that were so yummy. All in all, it was an awesome night and it was fun to just hang out with Trevor, Ray and Crystal. We didn't get home until 1:00, so I didn't roll out of bed officially until 10:20 this morning! Thank goodness the girls like to entertain themselves!
