First time at the Park

 We have had a few days of sun here 

(in between the torrential rain that accompanies winter in the Northwest),

so we headed out to the nearest park from our house to take advantage.

 Maybe it is because I grew up surrounded by palm trees,

but I am loving the ginormous evergreen trees here in Washington!

(Sorry Twilighters...no pretty-boy vampires have made an appearance yet).

 I love that the trees surround the playground too.

If it weren't for the distant screaming children,
I don't think we would have found it!

 Here is Spence enjoying the pirate ship.

 ...And now the lake!

 What is it about little boys and throwing stuff into water?

 Here they are contemplating what to throw next...

 A nice little undies shot for your viewing pleasure!

(umm...yeah, Spencer is in the process of potty training...but we'll spare you the details on that one)

 Staring meaningfully off into the distance.....at ducks.
(and wow!  look how reflective my pastey skin is!  I could totally be a vampire!)

And here we are at the end of our adventure....

It is hard to tell from the picture,
but Nate took a little unexpected dip into the lake. 

Needless to say, I don't think he enjoyed it.
Time to go home!
