With the party over, now it was time to enjoy our last few days in Seattle doing what we love to do best -- visit parks!
But first, there were cats to play with.
And blackberries to pick!
Then it was off to all of our favorite parks, staring with Jefferson Park on Beacon Hill.
We were lucky to get Auntie Jake and Aunt Yves to join us.
Wyatt was able to master a few new toys on the playground.
Which, of course, made mom nervous.
But he had his big brother to keep up with.
Both Jack and Wyatt enjoyed the zip line.
And I even managed to get in a few zips!!
I love Ethan's face on this slide.
This picture gets all three boys on the same toy doing their own activity.
Wyatt loved that these monkey bars were closer to the ground than the ones in our park at home in Georgia.
This toy was so high up and all I could imagine was someone falling off and breaking an arm. But Jack did great.
Anther great view of Seattle! There is not a prettier city in the country on a sunny day!!
Another day, another park. This time Nana and Auntie Jake's favorite - Seahurst.
I love that Ethan felt so comfortable with Yves.
Excuse the selfie, but I just love the view of the water!!
We hadn't been to the park since the remodeled it and put in the playground.
I could not get over the fact that there was a play park that close to the water. To be able to enjoy that view while your kids enjoy the playground -- it's almost enough to make me want to move back.
But then it was of to the beach to explore.
And throw rocks into the water -- Ethan's favorite thing to do.
He's so good at it and it's great therapy. I love therapy that is fun play.
And then it was time to look for sea glass - our most favorite thing to do on the Seattle beaches!!
Ethan does love his Auntie Jake!!
LOVE!!
But then he got restless so out came the camera phone for some more beach selfies.
Group shot -- because I loved the little creek behind us that ran down the hill to the sound.
Dad didn't want to be left out so later that afternoon we headed to more beaches!!
Washington beaches are so different from the Florida beaches where we usually vacation.
All those rocks (and sea glass)!!
Last stop was Lincoln Park where we got to watch the ferries come and go as well as look for sea glass.
There were so many fun things to explore, including geese...
And tree roots.
Ethan does not want to be left out of the fun anymore!!
My boys - my heart!
But no matter where the day takes us, there is always time for tablets. I love that the boys make themselves at home when we visit Nana and Granddad, no matter how long between visits.
