VASHON!!

We left Ballard early on Saturday to drive over to Vashon. We met my mom in the park so Olivia could play for a while after being in the car for so long. Madeline drove over with us since she spent the night in Ballard after we watched Glee. Madeline and Olivia are such good friends! Olivia just adores her! I wish Madeline was around all the time, she is so good with Olivia.

Julie came over to the island with Nick a little later in the day. After thrift store shopping, we walked down to the beach!

Nick found a jellyfish!

"Look a shell"
Best friends.

Beach tire swing. Everyone tried it out!

Olivia and her daddy

Olivia loves to be very close to you when you have a treat! Here she is sharing John's ice cream.

The next morning we went out to breakfast with my mom. Olivia was showing her "excited" face! The bike in the tree.

Then we went to where are the exercise bikes are along the beach. Olivia found one her size!
Exercising next to grandma.

After that, we went to a park that Olivia loved! It was a really nice, new park that had squishy padding on the ground instead of bark or rocks.

Well, that was pretty much our trip! We went back to Ballard Sunday afternoon to have dinner with John's family and then left early Monday morning so I could be back to town for a work playdate I had planned. We definitely had a busy but fun weekend!

grandpa

I am rushing off to work in a minute, but really wanted to put up the few pictures I got this past weekend. We made a quick trip to Vashon on Saturday and spent the night, so we could see my grandpa in his new place on the island. The room was really nice and he seemed very happy to see us! We also got to fill up the bird feeders outside his window so he could see the birds more. He took a fall outside last week so that is why his hand is bandaged. Mom takes care of it every day and does a great job!
