april 3

every once in a great while i can get both of my children in the frame and snap the shutter while their eyes are open and looking at me.  rarely, rarely do i also get 2 smiles.  today must have been my lucky day.  we made a spontaneous trip into seattle today and ending up spending 7 hours in the city.  we started at the indoor play space at rei where the kids love to climb and slide and run around.  then we went to essential bakery in wallingford for lunch and down to gas works park to take in the view of the city.  it's probably the best known park in seattle - the view from the park is the one most often featured on tv.  it was beautiful, but it was too chilly to stay for long.  the kids weren't ready to go home so we headed to alki beach in west seattle.  brooke and gavin love the beach.  they could have stayed out there for hours, playing in the sand and searching for rocks and sea shells.  we finally got them off the beach and grabbed an early dinner for the kids at a local fish-n-chip place.  brooke said it was "the best day ever!"  mission accomplished.
