We are really going to miss having two parks right by our house!! We have had a beautiful and sunny fall so far and have had lots of opportunities to hit the park!!

Climbing the rock wall to the slide! Willa is the littlest kid we've ever seen climb this jungle gym on her own... she is such a monkey or mountain goat as it were...


Nothing llike a good swing!


Nothing like a good swing... except maybe a good slide!

Family fun Friday!
We took an early morning bike ride to Rocket doughnuts (biking to the doughnut shape makes eating the doughnuts o.k.!) Then we hit the park!!





Another Family Fun Friday!
We decided to go on a long walk along Bellingham Bay and since we let Willa walk it was, indeed, a very long walk!! Willa loves to watch the boats float by, the seagulls fly and the seals play!



Willa loves blocks! She has gotten really good at building her own towers and especially good at knocking them down!!!
