A Little zoo in Issaquah

We headed over to the Cougar Mountain Zoo in Issaquah on Thursday after Ryan's guitar lessons. It is a small zoo, but fun just the same and we had the place pretty much to ourselves.

Mother's day!

Happy Mothers Day

to all the mother's everywhere! To my own mother who I love dearly! 

I woke to breakfast, coffee, flowers and a nice hot hotub dip. It turned out to be a beautiful day despite reports of rain.

A morning walk down to the river :

Girls day !

Friday Adeline and I had a girls day while the boys were busy. RYan has his all day wilderness school, Sage decided to take the bus into Seattle for his very first trip by himself and Tony was at work. 

Our first stop was to pick up lunch and have a picnic by the river.

The Klondike Gold Rush

I had heard about this museum and we finally made it into Seattle to discover it.  For being free, they did a great job and we learned alot. Seattle was a big hub for "stampeders" to head up to the Yukon in search of gold during the Klondike gold rush. So amazing the journey that those men and woman made.

May poles, farms and the market

On Sunday we headed to the Oxbow Organic farm for the annual sowdown. It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed watching a cooking demonstration, making may crown and fairy house and dancing around the maypole.

Have not posted for awhile

WOW! I have not made a post since Feb 18th? Two and a half months. We have celebrated two birthdays in this time. Sage turned 18 and Adeline turned 4.

We are doing our best to settle in to Washington and developing a rhythm here. It takes time and I hope to be adjusted by the end of the summer. We are making new friends and enjoying what the Valley has to offer.

New posts coming tonight!!
