Summer in the NW























Jack had fun pointing out the cows and horses in the WA. Sometimes, though he would call horses cows or even another animal. We (Grandma Marie, Mama and Jack) went to a little ranch where you could pet the farm animals and even ride horses. He made the fact that he was a city boy very evident when he kept commenting on the dirt and that he was getting dirty. He constantly talked about the poop and how things were stinky like in the chicken coop. He made sure Mama did not step in the poop too. (Sometimes he is overly observant!) At one point he sat on a pony then, noting that he was a little dirty, asked to go home to take a bath. The photo above shows Jack riding a horse for the first time. It only took a few seconds before he was smiling. He rode really well, nice and balanced and relaxed. When he got off, he immediately wanted to ride again. We thought he would remember that a horse is a horse for sure after that. But in the car he called it a goat or a sheep or the like!

The cupcake photos are from Katie's Cupcakes in Fairhaven with Grandma Cathy and Great Grandma GG. The pink tutu pics are from Boulevard Park where Mama's friend happened to have a tutu for photo props! Do not tell Dada about these ones!

We have been having a lot of fun in the beautiful NW. Out of nearly 2 weeks, this is the first day that it has been mostly grey and rainy. We went to the parade for the 4th of July, family bbq and saw the local fireworks. Jacks sleeping schedule has changed a lot! He has definitely had some cranky and otherwise trying moments. But, it has been great quality time for mother and son...although we wish Dada could have stayed in town longer, but he had to go back to work. We went to the zoo (no photos) and saw THE Thomas the Train in Snoqualmie. That was a lot of fun, even for the adults! We went with Grandma Cici, and Great Grandma GG. Here are a few photos.
