Sun!

I don't think anyone appreciates feeling the warmth of the sunshine in February as those of that live in the pacific northwest.  Although it was short lived, we enjoyed a few consecutive days of sun and seasonal warmth.  We made the most of it by getting outside as much as possible.

I love that our neighborhood has a number of parks in walking distance from our house.  Ella's favorite thing these days is going down the slide.  As soon as she gets to the bottom, she says and signs "more" to do it again.  She loves pushing herself off all on her own.  She is getting to be such a big girl!

 Ella and I met up with Alison and Nathan to go for a walk along the waterfront in Kirkland, let the kids play at a playground, and have a picnic lunch in the beach area.  Gotta love their Seattle "beach" attire ;).

 We didn't think about packing beach toys to play in the sand so Ella and Nate made the most of our empty Starbucks cups and sippy cups.
