\"lots-o-watermelons\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah, summer vacation…it’s finally here. We’ve flitted\u00a0from one end-of-the-school-year party to another these past few days,\u00a0and we have consumed frightening amounts of ice cream and watermelon, sometimes together. I’m in full anticipation mode for\u00a0the upcoming aimless, schedule-less moments until the camps kick in. I was pretty on the ball this year and have K signed up for a number of half-day camps, and I’m particularly excited about coding (yes, computer programming) camp that she specifically requested. How are your summers looking so far?<\/p>\n

****************************************<\/p>\n

I have much sewing and photo-taking to do, and am keeping it short for today. Have a wonderful weekend, all!<\/p>\n

An outing with friends<\/em>
\nTea parties and starfish*:<\/em>
\na winning combo<\/em><\/p>\n

*K and I went to one of the prettiest parks in Seattle called Carkeek with friends yesterday. It’s a vast recreational area with open fields, a play area (which includes a salmon-shaped slide) and a beach. The plan was to have a tea party for our girls and to then let them roam around and splash about on the beach; I was not expecting my friend to be so prepared — she brought a small table and an impressive array of afternoon tea\u00a0paraphernalia. We plunked the table down in the middle of the field and had a proper<\/em> tea party rivaling the one from Alice in Wonderland. The kids then zoomed off and found dozens of starfish in the tide pools. It feels like summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
