As part of a special event, kids got to kayak around in the pond at the science center. Joseph loved it so much we went to
rent a pedal boat at Green Lake. Joseph wanted to know if he was going to fall in, and if there would be someone pushing the boat. Ha!

And, Green Lake. Not the greatest picture, but there was only so much I could do without falling into the water. The pedal boat was a very reasonable $20/hour, and only 10 minutes away. It was very stable, so no one got seasick. I can't believe we've never done it before. So fun!

Not bad, Seattle. Not bad.

After boating and re-fueling (snacks!), Joseph and I went to dip our toes in the water along the beach. I saw a mom wading in the shallow water with her two little ones. She turned to help the bigger boy, and the little brother toddling along lost his footing and face-planted into the water. He floundered, his face in the water, couldn't get back up. It seemed like a very long time. The mom grabbed the little boy, and he started crying. Very scary.
Enjoy summer, and be safe.
