Memorial Day Weekend

Grandma and Grandpa brought us to Remlinger Farms in Carnation over Memorial Day weekend. We went there for the first time last fall right after Fiona was born. I couldn't wait to go back.

I spent the first 1/2 hour playing on a bus near the pony rides. How fun! Grandma went on with me and watched me drive the car, sit in the various seats, wave out the back window, etc...



All of us aboard the train before it left the station:


I'm already an excellent driver. Here I am cruising down the road with Grandma and mom:

Last fall I loved riding the roller coaster, but this year after one ride, I decided to call it quits:

Mom and dad went on it - I wasn't very happy about that and had a nice tantrum:

Good old Fiona watching me have fun:

Super-fun Weekend!

Whew! I'm tired from having a wonderful, sunny, super-fun weekend with my parents and Fiona. Saturday morning we went to visit Kelsey Creek Farm and saw a bunch animals like horses, cows, pigs, sheep and chickens.


Fiona must already be in the "horse phase" as she squealed whenever she saw the horses come near her:

Sunday afternoon we attended our local Norwegian Constitution Day parade in Ballard. It was an amazing collection of viking ships, Norwegian costumes, viking helmets, candy, marching bands, clowns, unicycles, dancers, horses, and tons of fun. Papa joined us 2 blocks from his office to see the parade go by:

Mother's Day

This year we got to celebrate Mother's Day twice - once on Saturday with nana and papa (of course, we forgot to take any pictures) and then on Sunday with grandma and grandpa.

We went with grandma and grandpa to one of our favorite restaurants in Ballard, Chinooks:

Time outs still happen while celebrating a holiday:


What a fun day to celebrate moms and grandmas!
