Weekend at the beach, a day in the life, bike rides, zoo trips, Easter,

Kenny loses a tooth!Nice sunset picture


Kenny and I went with Ilana and Benji and a number of her friends and their sons, to a seaside vacation home near Hansville, WA. We were lucky to have one very sunny day. The kids enjoyed themselves a lot, and so did the moms!


Awesome rope swing!












We went hunting for geocaches, and actually found one.


Kenny did the YMCA Pinewood Derby


A "Day in the Life" of Peter and Kenny - just like I did many years ago when it was just Kenny. Kenny usually wakes up very early and comes and hangs out in the living room with me.


Peter, waking up

It's cereal today...usually we have oatmeal


Peter being funnyIt's a phone!


Kenny and I went swimming at the Coal Creek YMCAPeter down for a nap


Kenny and I went for a bike ride to Seward Park during Peter's nap. I rode the scooter. Snacks are always a high point of these outings.


Bedtime...


At Woodlawn Park Zoo




Really cute shots of Peter




Peter got a little wet playing with the fountains at University Village


Sledding at Snoqualmie Pass


Easter! Kids got an easter basket at home, and then went on an easter egg hunt in Corrie's neighborhood


Kenny wrestling with his old daycare friend TristanEric visiting Dinarte at what's basically a mall at Microsoft


Kenny went to the UK International Soccer Camp over spring break. He absolutely loved it.


At the Bellevue Botanical Gardens, and the playground nearby


Robot funBiking on the Cedar River trail in Renton. It's nice for about half a mile, then its a boring trail right next to a busy road.


Bye, bye, bed. We sold Kenny's bed on craigslist to make room for a bunk bed for him and PeterPeter LOVES puzzles!


Kenny and a toyA butterfly landed on my back in the butterfly garden at the Pacific Science Center. He was a little tattered, though.


Kenny picked up this star wars mask from the free box at a local garage sale. He was thrilled!


We had our peps friends over to our house for dinner. Baby Victor is there too!Having a kids table is NICE!


Kenny and Eric went to Camp Orkila with the Y Guides


Mom and Peter at the Kelsey Creek Farm Fair


Later that evening we had some friends over for a potluck


And Peter and I went on a bike ride on the Sammamish River Trail/Burke Gilman trail, where it changes to the Burke Gilman Trail


Peter is just so cuteHe's a good kicker too.


Kenny and I went to an elementary school garage sale in Kirkland, and bought so much cool stuff!At Luther Burbank Park - it doesn't show up well in this picture, but the water rushed out here, making something like a blowhole


Kenny talking about playing the Star Wars Lego video gameNice sunset


Mother's Day celebration at Kenny's kindergarten glass. Good thing I came - I think there was only one child whose mother was not able to come.


Kenny's class, singing a song


Kenny and his teacher, Ms. Schwartz


We went to the Mima Mounds Natural Area, south of Olympia. Kenny enjoyed using this Scotch Broom pullerThis cool structure is designed to look like one of the mounds


Camas was all over the place. Apparently it was a big food source for the indiansA Rolly Polly had the bad luck to be found by Peter


The light wasn't that good, so it's hard to see the mounds very well
