Yard Pool

It was really hot this week so Declan spent a lot of afternoon in our backyard pool! He loved splashing and spraying us when we played!

After swimming Declan needed a little snuggle!

Gardening Class

In the month of May Declan and I took a garden class at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens! We loved it. At the end of each class we got to walk in the gardens with the teacher and learn about the gardens. The first class was all about worms! 

We enjoyed looking at worms, making worm soup, digging for worms reading, singing and sorting worms. We even got to eat a worm snack! YUM! 

After class we had a picnic lunch together! Declan had a happy meal and I ate his fries!

The following week our class was about flowers! We planted flowers, counted flowers, did a flower puzzle, sang songs, learned the parts of a flower and made a flower snack! 

The next class was all about butterflies. Mao joined us. We did butterfly puzzles, stories, sorting and more. Our teacher had real butterflies to release into the garden on our walk! 

Zoo Day!

Declan, Mao and I enjoyed a beautiful zoo day together! I hadn't been in months since I'd been so sick. I loved being able to be there with them! 

One of the giraffes is pregnant and due any day! We enjoyed looking at her tummy!

                                                                             Lions!

Mao had a few carousel coins, so we took a spin! 

The highlight of our zoo day was seeing Yola playing! She is almost a year old now. We hadn't seen her so active before or so close to the glass. She played, and swung on branches and poked at her mommy, aunt and uncle!
