Play Date at Our House!

Yesterday was a lovely day for Jeff, Jenny & Wes, Paula & Steve, Kristen, Evan & Miles to join us for a play date. The boys are cousins. Next time we'll have to include the other 2 boy cousins too. We really enjoyed the day. Jenny, Wes, Paula, Miles, & Kristen:

Ninja Wes: Wes & Miles:
Kristen, Evan, Jenny, & Jeff playing badminton:
Miles napping outdoors: Paula: Evan: Wes with his 1st popsicle:
Our neighbor Henri, Wes, Chris' dog Bugsy, and Louie: We had Crab Louis salads for lunch (dungeness crab is on sale at QFC for $4.99/lb.) and apple tarts for dessert.

The kids are off for a night out on the town while we babysit their precious 8 month old Wes: Mommy & Daddy got Wes his very own luggage for some upcoming August vacations:

He wanted to explore the bag really well:

Just pack me; forget the rest of the stuff; Oh, maybe I should bring a book along...

Wes taught Pépé how to use the X-Box conroller:
and I swear this photo wasn't staged.... but who is imitating who?:

Some pictures from last weekend at Hood Canal:

10 on 10 July: Hard work will equate to something new and nice!

Siblings playing badminton:




Pépé and Wes watching the lively game:

Wes thinks he could beat both of them...

There's a photo program at picnik.com that's fun and easy to use. On all of these sets of photos, the 1st photo was normal and the 2nd photo was saved after playing around at picnik.com. I used the free options, but for $24.95 a year there are a lot more options to choose from. These were some of the shots Joe & I captured today at a 4th of July celebration afternoon on Lake Washington.
