Summer here, summer not

It's September, and with it comes the promise of a renewed energy in blogging. I feel like a 7th grader with my brand new Trapper Keeper.

Summer was great. We went to Montana with our friends, drank lots of Riesling and Lillet. Swam at the pool and fell more in love with our new neighborhood.

(Oh that. Somewhere back in the dark winter months we moved into a new house. We love it.)

Father's day

KEXP 3rd Annual Father's Day Kids' Dance Party

A couple of weeks ago Molly went to her first club, a place up on Capitol Hill called Neumos. The last time I was at this particular venue Molly was just a twinkle in God's eye, and it was to see The Mountain Goats.

What I'm saying is; this was not Gymboree folks.

It was a Father's Day Dance party hosted by our local independent radio station, KEXP. There was music, break dancing lessons, arts and crafts and as you can see, a crown making station. Molly had a great time and when she saw this picture she shrieked "Moh-wa dance party!"

The event was held smack dab in the middle of naptime, so we cut out a little early to head down to the in-laws for more Father's Day celebrating.

This photo was taken by one of the KEXP photographers at the event.

VANCOUVER!

we took a family vacation to Vancouver BC in August. There was a municipal strike on...luckily we found a fabulastic water park instead!

About an hour after these photos were taken I got a call from George for help. Apparently Molly is not a big fan of the Burly trailer or the bike helmet. George couldn't take the cries from the back anymore and pulled over on the side of the road to wait for rescue. Maybe next summer we'll give it another try.


My advice to other parents considering buying a bike trailer? Borrow one first.
