Last Week's Fun

We had a fun and fairly eventful last week...It started off with us going to the Renton River Days Parade. This is an annual parade downtown that is followed by tons of vendors and FOOD and a petting zoo and lots of other fun activities at the park close by. We (the kids, mainly) love to go and we've been doing this for a few years now. I've actually been going since I was a child, growing up here in good old Renton. It brings back lots of memories. The kids' favorite part, yet most terrifying part, is the Seafair Pirates!!! The Pirates are fun and very "Piratey" (if that 's even a word!). BUT, they are SOOOOO loud! They come down the street in their pirate ship and, of course, have to set off their cannons. The very loud cannons! It's so loud. Poor kids.

Anyway, Monday we got to go visit our new nephew, Tristan. He's adorable. My poor sis-in-law wanted this baby out sooo bad! She's relieved to have him out, but has had some problems with infections and stuff. Not fun. It was nice to see them all and spend some time with their family. I can't wait to get to know Baby Tristan!

Tuesday was great too! Jeremy and I got to go out on the town, alone, and catch an M's game. It was so nice. We had a really good time spending the evening together. The game wasn't packed, so we got to spread out a bit and actually got to eat dinner at a table overlooking the Puget Sound. It was great weather, great company, and yummy food. The best! The Mariners even won! Thanks Sharon for watching the kids:)

Wednesday and Thursday weren't as fun...Those were our 105 degree weather days, but Friday we got to go see another new baby! Our friends, Jason and Wendy just had their second child. He was born 3 weeks early, after Wendy was on bedrest for 9 weeks. He's an adorable litte 5 lb. baby boy named Owen. He's just precious. It was fun having pizza with them and enjoying eachother's company.

So, there you have it. I found it to be a quite enjoyable week. On my down days I got lots done around the house and ran lots of errands. Very productive, actually. Here's some pics from the Parade and Game. Enjoy!
