Making Music



Chris bought a guitar a few months ago. This weekend he hooked it up and started playing around. Sierra thought that it was great that Daddy was making "music". She went to her room and grabbed one of her instruments and then hung out with Daddy making "music". As you could see, she was also in her super special party dress (a tutu from a friend's birthday party). Needless to say, she was a VERY happy girl.

A Night at the Drive-In





A couple of VW clubs got together at the drive-in to see Wall-E. It was a great evening. There were more than 60 VWs there. The movie was fun. Sierra loved it. All the "buses and buggies" and the "b-bot" movie. She enjoyed herself so much that she stayed awake for the entire movie. The next time that we go, we will be taking the camper bus, so that we can watch the movie "in bed", so that Si might fall asleep.

Seattle Summer




Many of you seem to think that it rains in Seattle all the time. I will give you that it does for most of the winter; however, we have some of the most beautiful summer days. This last weekend was gorgeous. We went out with some friends from college to play on Puget Sound and Commencement Bay for a few hours. It was great to hang out and relax with friends and enjoy our beautiful areas.


Sierra was thrilled to be out on the water. She kept informing us that she wanted to go swimming. Chris finally humored her, by dipping her in the water. (Literally holding onto the back of her life jacket and lowering her into the water.) Keep in mind, that the Sound never really warms up. The look on her face when she hit the water was priceless. She came out of the water saying, "Mommy, mommy, mommy!! Water chilly, chilly, chilly!" However, 30 minutes later, she was asking to go back it.


Cooking







I was making scones on Saturday. As soon as Sierra heard the Kitchen Aid, she came running over to "help". She was very excited to be cooking. When we started forming our dough, Sierra thought that we were playing "Patty Cake". She started singing, patting the dough, and trying to "Mark it with a 'B'." It was great.
