ski to sea...

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Jeff was busy getting the garage cleaned and instead of us getting in the way, Ethan and I headed up to Bellingham to attend the ski to sea festival. The main motivation for the trip for Ethan was to eat ice cream and play drums at Grandpa's house. Both were accomplished and the weather also cooperated so it was a great day.

 

a whirlwind weekend...

While Jeff was off working at PAX Ethan and I headed up to visit some of the grandparents in Anactores and Bellingham. In Anacortes we got to tour an old tug boat used in WWII that was offering tours at the marina.

Ethan also got to go out for a short ride on grandpa's scooter which he loved. After it was over he told me that we needed to get a motorcycle. We'll see about that.

While in Bellingham we visited Hovander Park and then headed to Birch Bay for some fun in the sand and surf. Luckily for Ethan we had a change of clothes in the car since he dived right in.

This past Sunday we made a trip up north to Bellingham to visit Ethan's grandpa and help him celebrate his birthday. It is pretty fun to be able to take my son to visit my childhood home and nearby Lake Padden. The weather was nice to us and we were able to walk down to the lake, feed the ducks, go to the playground, and take Bindi to the off leash park. Ethan also got the experiment with playing the drums as well.

Happy birthday grandpa!!!

Driving North.

This past weekend while Jeff was at the Seahawk's game Ethan and I decided to go and visit my dad up north in Bellingham. We had arrived around lunch time and we all headed to Win's Drive-In for some burgers and fries. We also indulged in a fresh banana shake as well. It was fun to take Ethan there since that is a place that I worked at in High School and it has not really changed too much.

After lunch we stopped at Lake Padden so Ethan could work off his shake on the playground. We were only able to stay a few minutes since the weather turned pretty chilly. We had a great day hanging with my dad or as Ethan calls him Pe-pah.
