Please do not tap on glass.

Jorja at The Boa Constrictor display doing just that -- tapping on the glass. Um, I'm terrified of snakes, never mind HUGE ones that are being harassed beckoned by a 2 year old.



See how excited she is being in close proximity to The Boa Constrictor? See how shaky I am being in close proximity to The Boa Constrictor? I vote for the fuzzy, furry, cuddly variety of animals.

Giving Thanks

A truly joyful way to spend Thanksgiving morning -- romping around one of our gorgeous parks with the most deliciously adorable kiddos. I am so incredibly thankful for each of my 30+ lbs beings of goodness.

Duo flame hats checking out the park scene.



Anders thankful for an impromptu waterfall mid-staircase.



Flowing (and falling) water, puddles, and leaves, oh my!



Jorja submerging her rain boots while taking a closer look.



Watching the awesome Washington State Ferries in action -- rain or shine.



Upgrading to the "big kid" swings.

Frog and Monkey

Yes, Halloween was nearly a month ago. And yes, Thanksgiving is in 2 days.

No, Anders and Jorja are not still wearing their Halloween costumes (although I wouldn't be opposed to it).

How we spent 10/31:

A morning swing...



along with a romp on the climbing structure at the park.



A rocking horse adventure clad in costume at home.



A brief stop to pull out the pumpkin's candle -- for the hundredth time -- on our way to trick-or-treating.



Admiration for the candle-lit pumpkins.
