Mother's Day Fun

Our fun Mother's Day adventure began the day before...decorating cupcakes for MOM!!!  Yes, I made them.  I had been dreaming about them for days and days.  They were coconut cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting.  Mmmmmmm, so delish. 
Then, to finish off the evening, a beautiful rainbow came out.  I was standing on the porch, and this was the view down the driveway. 

Here we are at this really cool park on Bainbridge Island called Battle Point Park.   It's huge, and really, really fun.  Here are a few pictures to prove it!

This is about 1/3 of the park.  Baby bunnies were hopping around under the little ramp.  Check out the huge grassy area behind.  How cool is that??

Another big view, with little Sawyer checking it all out. 

And what's a park without a tree to climb?  Lee put Natalie up in it, and up she went!


Pretty fun park, yes?  After our picnic and more playing, we got in the car and headed...to park #2!!!!  Woohooo!!!

Faye Bainbridge State Park was beautiful and really fun.  The clouds in this picture are above the Cascades (!!!), and we could see the Seatle skyscrapers.  We will come back to Bainbridge Island to play!

New Family Members!!

We have eight new additions to the family!
How cute are they?  They have yet to be named, but the lightest yellow chick has been deemed "the girl" of the bunch.  We'll see...
Happy girls make some happy chicks.  Well, not really.  But the girls are great mother hens, except when the chicks poop on their hands.  Natalie "likes the girl chicks.  They are so adorable!" 
I like the soft part of the chickie's head" says Lilly. 

Sawyer is content to watch, point and occasionally pet.  He is very gentle, except when he can't resists the urge to poke their eyes.  They do look a little curious.
