Pretty Spring Blossoms

We love to look at the pretty blossoms in the spring. These were actually purple!! They were at CBRC. 

Easter

We had a very quiet Easter this year. Jeremy had to work so we didn't see him. The grandparents and Laura came down for a few hours to visit and we had ham for lunch. Pippa was very happy about that. Here's Elizabeth playing a game of Chutes and Ladders with Papa Norm. It took FOREVER. 

Evening Bike Rides

We like to go on evening bike rides when the weather is nice. Jeremy runs. The kids bike. I either walk or bike. Today, we biked up to Candy Mountain. 

On the trail. 

Pedaling up the hill. 

Almost to the bottom of Candy Mountain

Time to head back down. 

I thought this tree was pretty. 

Pretty sunset riding home. 

Pretty river walk

I had a pretty walk along the river the other day. 

Elizabeth tennis lessons

Elizabeth has been taking tennis lessons too. She doesn't like it as much as Nathan, but is learning. I took some pictures today during their drills. Otherwise, it's hard to get pictures when she is moving all around! 

Another day, some more drills! 

Nathan tennis lessons

Nathan continues to enjoy his tennis lessons. I grabbed a few pictures of him exiting the court the other day but didn't get any of him playing. I will have to try harder next time!

Mariners vs. Red Sox

Nathan is a Red Sox fan. He was very excited to see them win the World Series last year and wanted to see them play. Obviously, we were not going back to Boston so when we saw they were coming to Seattle, we bought tickets! It also happened to be opening weekend and the day we picked was Kids Day on Sunday. It was also the week of Spring Break so we didn't need to worry about rushing home for school on Monday. Papa Norm and Gram came too of course since Papa Norm is a Mariners fan.  We took the van since it fit all of us. 

Seal Lake was still iced over.  (It's really called Lake Ketchuss)

We saw some skiers up at Snoqualmie. 

Nathan wore his Mariners shirt and a Red Sox hat. Talk about confusing! 

The kids watched some Spongebob in the back of the van and laughed quite a lot. 

Safeco Field became T-Mobile Park over the winter. 

Since it was kids day, they let the kids have a "parade" around the field. We got to walk everywhere and then parade down around the field! 

The kids ran up to the very tip top of the stadium. 

This was the biggest TV they had ever seen! 

After starting at the very top of the stadium, we walked down a million stairs to get to the very bottom. 

Now we got to look up into the stadium. 

The game started with a lot of hits and runs!  The Red Sox scored 3 runs in their very first inning. The Mariners scored 7 runs in the 3rd inning. 

We used binoculars to watch up close. 

This was Nathan's face when the Red Sox were losing by quite a bit. Eventually, (even though the Seattle pitchers walked 4 batters in a row in the 9th inning), the Mariners beat the Red Sox 10-8. The Mariners won 3 out of 4 games against the World Series champions! 

The pretty drive across Lake Washington on the way home.
