Rainy Day Sunday.

The Seahawks played today and since one game seemed to be enough for Ethan and we thought that daddy needed a break to go actually watch the game Ethan and I headed up to Bellingham to visit my dad. The day started out rainy and dreary and the whole drive up to Bellingham was that way. When we finally got there the rain stopped for a little bit in order to let us make a trip up to Ferndale to Hovander Homestead Park to explore. Enjoy the photo's.

Iron Girl 5K Seattle

My friend Courtney had told me about the Iron Girl 5K/10K race in Seattle so I thought that I would give it a try. I signed up for the 5K a couple of months before the race and then sort of forgot about it so I had done no training what-so-ever before race day. The race takes you around Green Lake so the views were nice and it made the time go by pretty quickly since you had things to look at. I totally surprised myself by running the race, especially since I am not a runner and that I had done zero training as stated above. I don't think I have ever ran more than a mile or so so running three was pretty good if I do say so myself. :) I finished the race in 39:14 which is pretty good considering. Also, you can't really tell in the pictures but this race had a ton of participants. I believe that there were 3,000 total women running.

Here are some photo's that Courtney's husband Jeff took at the finish line.

Jeff took Ethan to his first Seahawks game and he had a great time until the game and fireworks started. Then it was a little to much for Ethan to take so they unfortunately had to leave during the first quarter, much to Jeff's dismay. Maybe some noise reduction headphones will be in Ethan's future for the next game so it is not so traumatizing but Jeff did manage to get a cute picture of Ethan before the game started in his Seahawks jersey eating fries, with his new friend Blitz that daddy got him.

Evergreen State Fair

The sun was out in Seattle and Jeff was off to PAX so I decided to go ahead and take the afternoon off from work and took Ethan to meet up with my dad and Jackie at the Evergreen State Fair. It was the perfect day to go since there was not to much of a crowd and the weather was just right. Ethan had a great time eating the huge brick of french fries and going on the rides. He also got to go on a Pony ride and pet some animals. He was especially excited when he received a balloon sword and a lollipop (thanks Jackie).
