We had another exciting Taft family weekend. Kayla decided to help Tim out with the front lawn. She put on her fancy sunhat and cheered Tim on as he worked.

On the 4th itself we decided to have a picnic at Carkeek park. We didn’t head over there until 5pm or so after a day of errands. Since Tim was born and raised in this state, and since I’ve lived here 11 years, you would think we’d have a handle on the weather around here. It seemed to have slipped our minds that hot and sunny in the wind protected backyard is no corrolation as to how it will be by the Sound. It was super windy and cold. Kayla was pretty unhappy and we lasted about 45 minutes. It was a valiant effort, and maybe next time we’ll be prepared with more clothing and blankets.

I joined Erin and Leo at the wading pool on Tuesday. It wasn’t a super warm afternoon so I didn’t stick Kayla’s feet in the water. Maybe next time.
