A Day at the Beach

We’ve been meaning to get some of the great pictures posted from our recent trip with Del’s Grandma and Grandpa to Golden Garden in Seattle, during their October visit. Del had a blast playing on the beach and exploring the sand.

Birthday Swing Set

Del’s trying to make the most out of the remaining dry, warm days of fall, including getting in some quality playtime on his new swingset, a birthday present that’s just been set up at his Oma and Opa’s house down in Lakewood. We’ve got some more pics below…

Come On In… The Water’s Fine!

We’re finally getting some true summer weather here in the Seattle area this weekend (88º-90º), and it’s not even the Fourth of July yet! That kind of heat gets to be pretty unbearable in our third floor condo (particularly with all its large, south facing windows – which are awesome in the winter but murder in the summer). So early this morning we piled The Boy, The Hounds and our stuff into the X5 and headed down to Lakewood for the weekend.

The hot weather also meant that Del would finally get a chance to try out the new kiddie pool that his Oma and Opa recently got him, and it did not disappoint! He spent about a half hour in it this afternoon, splashing around with Dianne and his Oma, while dad took pictures. As much as he even likes his baths, he had a blast here. We’re looking forward to getting at least one more good pool session in tomorrow before we have to head back to Seattle.

It’s a Del Medley

I had a hunch this would make a good “instant photo collage” – pics of Del from his grandparents’ refrigerator door. He’s still competing with a few Thurman the Dog pics and other assorted family members, but he’s slowly squeezing everyone else out!

Fun in the Sun

Del had a great time at this grandparents’ house in Lakewood the past two days, and with the weather warming up, we were able to get him outside for some fun play time in the backyard…
