Puddle Jumpin and Trailrunning

Here are some pics from a puddle jumping adventure run to the library we all took today in the pouring rain.  Also some shots from trailrunning last week!

Halloween! ...and yes, we're still alive!

Life's been crazy... as usual, and we apologize for the lack of updates.  But here are some quickies from Halloween!

Raspberry Heaven

A few Saturdays ago, I took the girls out to a U-pick berry farm east of Seattle with Uncle David.  Here are some pics that David took and a few of mine too.  (the ones that look like they belong in a magazine were taken by David...)  The girls ate many berries and Katherine did pretty well at actually picking and putting them in her bucket, whereas Annabelle's berries never made it in anyone's bucket.  Once their bellies were full, they were just as happy running in and out of the raspberry rows and then the corn they found too.  We'll have to get back out for more berry picking soon.

Adventures Galore

Trailrunning, awesome new red bikes, 4th of July, our first ever official race (a 1 mile fun run), and more- summer has finally arrived in Seattle, and we've been busy soaking it all in!  Here is a photo summary;

First time on our very first bikes!  Feet don't quite reach the pedals, but boy do we LOVE these!

Pigtails and a visit from Nana

Race start on the 4th (already in last place, but having a ball!)

"following the yellow brick road"- this proved to be a huge motivator

Halfway there!  Time to turn around

The first place 4 miler caught us just after the turnaround.

Home stretch

We made it!
