SATURDAY
Today we hosted an informal BBQ. It was nice enough to be out in the backyard without freezing for most of the time. I’d say about 15 people came by at different times. It was nice to visit. Tim even laid Kayla down to sleep for a little while. It felt so grownup to have our daughter laying down in her bed while we hung out with the adults in the backyard. Can’t really say why… She only slept for about 15 minutes, but hey, she’s only 8 weeks old. We supplied a couple of Margarita buckets, of which I think only half of one was finished off. We’ll have to have some folks over for margaritas this week or next weekend to see if we can’t finish them off. We must be getting old or something. Actually, most people were drinking beer and there were three pregnant women here. So, it must not be the getting old thing. :-)
SUNDAY
These were taken Father’s day morning. Kayla was dressed up as a duck for the occasion. Tim’s first father’s day. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we decided to go for a hike. We were on the road around 2pm, which seems to be the usual get going time. It was also pretty windy, so we drove out to Issaquah to hike up to Poo Poo point to watch the paragliders and hang gliders. There were quite a few of them flying, and a whole bunch waiting to take off. I don’t know if they limit the numbers in the air, or if it just takes a while for each person to get set up and take off. This was Kayla’s first hike and though we saw several babies on the way up and down, she was by far the youngest. We got lots of comments such as “you’re brave” and “you’re taking her out early”. Not sure what they meant exactly. Kayla’s behavior at this point isn’t too much different whether at home or out. We varied our usual route to Poo Poo point and hiked from the landing zone rather than the high school. It’s more crowded that route, but a shorter more direct hike there.
You can tell from my great hair style how windy it was up there. With no wind however, there will be no flying. Notice the man falling from the sky in the right corner of the picture. His wing almost made it in the picture.
Be sure to click on this photo. In its larger image you can see several gliders in the air.
