Mid-Winter Break Day Trip!

We have been on vacation all week, and it is glorious!! We have been using the time to play play play play with Lily, catch up on projects at home, see friends and have playdates, and SLEEP! The weather has been disgusting, but we refused to let that put a damper on our fun. One of our highlights was a quick day trip to Bainbridge Island on Tuesday. It was POURING rain but we still had fun. We got to ride a ferry, went to the KiDiMu Children's Museum, had lunch at this adorable local cafe, and checked out a little local toy store. 

It's just a little rainy outside......but luckily Lily can entertain herself for house in the car! Waiting for the ferry...

 A little road trip entertainment...

We're finally on the ferry!! We had the outdoor decks all to ourselves. Haha!

 Lily kept asking to see the boat. "No water, no water!" Silly girl, we are ON the boat!

 We loved this adorable little children's museum, KiDiMu! It was just perfect for Lily. She loved the treehouse at the entrance, and kept going back to it to climb higher and higher on this ladder! She finally made it to the top, but never would go down the big slide. We also loved the upstairs, which was a ton of different ball rolling activities!

 On the way home, the sun came out and it was beautiful by the time we got home!

Two!!

Two year old portraits!

Lily was a tough subject....AGAIN. She thought the studio was very interesting with all the stuff and crazy lights, but she absolutely would not smile. Mostly she just jutted out her chin, and then cried. She really liked looking at the one of her crying, and kept asking for "More Lily cryin?" over and over! Luckily, she is still really cute.

 Look who else was super cute at age two!!

Snow Day!

Hooray, we finally got some snow! It started in the evening on Saturday night, and we woke up to a perfect blanket of snow on Sunday morning. Weekend snow is so much more relaxing, especially compared to drive-all-the-way-to-work-only-to-find-out-it's-cancelled snow! We couldn't wait to take Lily out!

We headed out to the not-so-super-secret Mill Creek sledding location...the golf course! Here is Lily all snuggled up to go.

 Lily is not impressed anymore. She does NOT want to walk in the snow, or let the snow touch her or her clothes at all.

Papa showed up just in time to take a family shot!

Lily is so done with snow! She much prefers to look at it out the window. Or even better, from the wide-open front door.

 Or out the window from Starbucks! Hot chocolate with Papa. Perfect!

 Lately Lily has become quite the storyteller. Last night before bed she told both me and Jason separately all about the snow. "Snow, we went weeeee, we had fun, snow all gone, bye bye snow, see you next time!"
