Opening Day and Mother's Day

Saturday was beautiful and we got the boat out on Lake Washington just in time for the Opening Day boat parade through Montlake Cut. This fire boat was a favorite of the kids. We also got to see the Husky Marching Band - on the bow of three different boats with the conductor positioned on the back of a preceding boat. Very cool! And it was fun to spend the day on the water with Chris.


 Reed has been on the boat long enough to have figured out how to take a nap while holding onto the railing. Too cute.
We finished it off by spending the late afternoon and dinner at the Civic Club and met with up with a whole lot of our LFP friends!
 Sunday was Mother's Day. We traveled down to Seattle Center to watch the Cat in the Hat. It was a hilarious show filled with physical comedy and vibrant props and costumes. The kids loved it.


 Then we went up to my mom's house for a family celebration: birthdays, anniversaries, new babies. It was great seeing everyone! Charlotte got an early birthday from her aunts and uncles. She has already read in one day now, most of the giant collection of Dick and Jane books from Auntie Kirstie and Uncle Peter. She is so proud of her reading (me too)!
The Care Bear from Auntie Karen with matching story book was a big hit.
