Safety Takes No Holiday . . .

After a stretch of yucky, wet, gray cold weather that was bad by even Western Washington standards, the sun reemerged on Saturday. Every day (even when it was raining), Evie June's first words when I go into get her from her nap are "wake up play outside!" She is most pleased with the weather, and with some of the new fun she's found to enjoy.

Fun like 'washing' daddy's truck.


And playing in the box of the new lawnmower.


And of course good weather means lots of bike rides. Sunday we rode to church and then to the grocery store. The trailer was a little heavy on the way home and Evie had to ride with a gallon of milk ("cold!"), but it was worth it. One surprise is how much Evie likes wearing her helmet, often leaving it on for an extended period after a ride. Here she shows that you can never be too careful, whether testing out the SUPERMAXIMUMBUBBLEMAKER or wrangling a delightful but sometimes difficult summer staple: corn-on-the-cob.
