What-What?! Week of July 9th

So this past week, I did a puzzle:

Ozzy helped... mostly be playing with cars and occasionally playing with puzzle pieces.

Skagit Highland Games in Mount Vernon

This weekend, though, we went to the Highland Games in Mount Vernon.  We had a fairly good time, though Osric wasn't feeling well after a while, so we left pretty early.

Waiting for sheepdog trials.  By the time we left, these still hadn't started yet, despite it being over an hour after the starting time.  So mostly, we watched sheep walk around.

Ready for her closeup.

By the time we got to the firetruck, Osric wasn't feeling well.  Poor sweetie, he was really looking forward to it.

He was feeling well enough to do some crafts in the tent, though.  He made himself a necklace.

Corwin made a shield.

There was a kiddie pool with bubble stuff and bubble wands in it, this was a good time, if a bit wet.

Corwin did not play with bubbles -- he spent the whole time climbing on the firetruck.

After seeing Corwin's shield, he wanted to make himself one too.

We might head back there again later today to see more of the sights -- we didn't get to see any of the dancing, nor the sheepdog trials.  Hopefully we'll be able to go to more events that this group runs, since we got the membership.

What-What?! Week of July 2nd

Summer!  It's finally kind of here, if you ignore the clouds and the days that it's still cold...

Yesterday, the kids did some little painting kits:

Oh, Osric has short hair now... it is crazy how different he looks now.

No, they are not wearing shirts.  Yes, they did get paint on their bodies.

Osric's happy cupcake.

Painting her kitty.

Later that day, we went to a little wooded park on the East side of Marysville.

Reading the plaque on the bridge that crosses the little creek there -- this was built by boy scouts.

Watching the creek.

There were tons and tons of Morning Glories everywhere.

The place used to be a Christmas tree farm before it was donated to the city, so all the fir trees are planted in perfect rows.  Out beyond this, there's a little meadow area, which would probably be lovely for picnics.

The park doesn't have a playground, so afterwards we went down the road to Jennings Park, which does.  We found out that the Marysville Historical Museum is right next to it, and is now open, so we're planning on taking a trip there sometime soon.
