Tony worked graves all last week so he finished on Thursday night and had Friday-Monday off! We didn't have any plans and we wanted to stay close to home, relax and make plans as they came to us. So here photos of our weekend fun! We went hiking on Saturday in Issaquah. It took us about 15 minutes to get to the trailhead. Coal Creek Trail is an easy hike and showcases some of the coal mining history of the area.
The theme of the day was slugs. I have an aversion to them because they're gross, but we found out that Max was scared of them. We helped him get over that fear quickly--well, Tony did...I just acted brave from a few feet back.
After that, Tony and Max took the kayak down the Cedar River. Ryan, Jase and I went to the end of the river where it empties into Lake Washington to wait for them. I found this huge willow tree and we relaxed in the shade. Ryan and I played red light-green light. Jase resting under the willow's canopy.
The other cool thing about our spot by the river is that it is right by the Renton airport so we saw airplanes landing. It reminded me a bit of Milk Creek and the Mulino airport and how you always saw airplanes flying overhead.
Sunday was church and relaxing--no pictures but a nice day. Monday, we set off for Alki Beach. First we stopped for a photo op. I thought you'd be able to see the new Ferris wheel on the Seattle waterfront. Well, you can but it's facing the other direction so you just see the side.
Tony and I have been married 15 years and have 3 sweet boys and one darling girl. We love family time, traveling, exploring, flying and laughing. Tony is an amazing pilot and airplane mechanic and I'm a social worker turned work-from-home mom.
