Adventures in the life of Joseph: Alki Beach. Fun to throw rocks into the water, but the waves were a bit too loud and scary up close. Volunteer Park. Kind of a trek to get there from Queen Anne, but always so worth it. Plus the kids playroom inside the Asian Art Museum is stocked with new animal puppets! Planning to take full advantage of our backyard this summer. The kids can tear it up and I don't worry about the mess. Bouncy balls at co-op. Remember when school was this fun? White-water rafting at REI. And backing it up... How toddlers play "together." A little chickadee stopped to say hello as we were headed to preschool one morning. A fun new toy that didn't cost me anything. Sometimes that's the best kind.
