Whatcom Falls Walk

My friend Alex, her children, and mine cross the bridge over Whatcom Falls on a wet winter walk of the park.

Rainy Play Day

On a rainy Saturday afternoon I brought my daughters to our neighborhood school to ride scooters under the large covered play area.  Though the scooters were soon abandoned.  The call of the playground could not be detoured by a little rain.

Happy New Year

New Year's Eve was celebrated in style with fantastic friends, joyful kids and lots of fun confetti at midnight eastern time, or nine o'clock local time.

A Morning Run

We posted a running photo on Sunday, and a foggy photo on Monday... why not combine the two and post a foggy running photo today?

This was the mini race at the Whatcom Race for Education on Saturday, for kindergarten through second-grade only. I would never be tacky enough to brag about my kindergartner, who beat out quite a few older kids to come in second place, but... oh, who am I kidding? Of course I'm that tacky!

I hope you get everything you reach for.

Happy Labor Day!

Hooray! Hooray!

Nai graduated from preschool Sunday!

The Center for Expressive Arts

The Center for Expressive Arts on Commercial Street hosts events for kids, including family yoga, toddler dancing, art classes, and even hula hoop jams! On this particular Saturday, kids made St. Patrick's Day-themed art. 

Santa Sandwich

These three serious cuties were waiting in line (as were we) for a fire truck ride at the holiday celebration at the ferry terminal. I love the way the sisters are flanking their Santa-hatted brother. Besides the fire truck rides, the festival featured horse-drawn wagon rides, a gingerbread house competition (tomorrow's post!), dancing, singing, hot cider and cookies, and crafts for the kids.

Yogoman's Wild Rumpus

Otherwise known as hula-hooping night, the Wild Rumpus is one of the few times we can bring our kids with us to the Boundary Bay beer garden. A great way to enjoy a summer evening-- the kids are happily occupied... and we get to drink good beer. Cheers!

BTW the band playing in the background is Yogoman Burning Band, and they are awesome! Check out their music at http://www.myspace.com/yogomanburningband
