High five from coach Dan!

Last week we enjoyed several days of fantastic weather, so we headed out to do lots of fun activities.

One day we hit the local spray park. It's new this summer, so it quickly got really busy! Colin especially enjoys the fountains that sputter up for the sidewalk at sporatic times -- he likes the thrill of trying to figure out which hole the water will come out of next.

The following day we met up with friends at a lake beach park. The weather was ideal for taking a soak in the lake, and Colin enjoyed playing with Jensen's shovel and putting sand in another little girl's sand pit (she would empty, and he would try to fill -- such a little boy!) He also liked taking a huge sand castle bucket and filling it with water and dumping it down his front side -- that's one way to cool off really quickly!

Then on Thursday we went to BubbleFest at Pacific Science Center. We drove over to Seattle with friends and met up with other mommies from our church. In total we had 6 moms, 10 little boys, and 2 baby girls. We were all day dreaming about someday sending the boys all out on a father-son camping trip in future years while all of the moms and the few daughters hit the spa for the day. Someday, right?

But for now, we had lots of fun at BubbleFest, as we watched a performance from Bubble Man. He made all kinds of cool bubble creations, including placing a huge bubble around a little boy. After watching bubbles and grabbing a bite to eat, we all hit the butterfly exhibit. Colin enjoyed watching them flutter around and was curious to watch them all eating the fruit (see picture.)

On Friday, Dad joined us for soccer practice, and we were happy to see the return of Coach Dan. He is a super energetic coach, and all the kids just love him!
