Today was beautiful - again. We've had awesome weather. Jonathan barbecued cheeseburgers and sweet potatoes, and we ate out in the backyard. It was perfect.
Maggie loves sweet potatoes! (Look, she's finally getting some hair up on top!)

...and throwing it at mommy! :)
We've also explored a couple of new parks near our house this week. The first was Yost Park, which has lots of interesting trails through a forest with a creek running through it, an outdoor pool and a rather pitiful playground. We may check out the pool at a later date - they were having what looked like a middle school pool party while we were there and Stella totally thought she was old enough to hang with the big kids. She was actually pretty offended that she couldn't join them.
We also had an impromptu nature lesson. We saw a hummingbird in its nest - it barely looked real, except that its tail was vibrating ever so slightly.
We also learned about bees and how they pollinate.
We also checked out Francis Anderson park, which is right next to the Edmonds library and community center. We walked our babies in their buggies for a little while, then it was time to try out the playground. I've noticed that a lot of the playgrounds around here don't have any swings!! Not good for a little girl who loves to swing. The school by our house doesn't have any either. :(
Have I mentioned how much I just love these girls??

Memories of my days taking little ones to the park. Of course they had swings back then. Stella and her baby going down the slide is priceless.
Unfortunately, because you can fly out of a swing, which is totally the park/school/...'s fault (not) -- suing parents have caused the removal of swings from such places. The liability is just too much.
What, no swings??? Maybe Daddy can rig one from your gigantic porch...
LOVE the pictures. I was missing the girlies tonight :)
Maybe Grandpa Dave can rig up the swing when we come in July :)
Sounds like fun! Bummer, there were no swings though. have a great day!
