We woke up early and got out the door with Lydia, Mary, Soren and Clarissa. Joanna stayed home to watch Ammon and Meera to simplify things and so we didn’t need to take two cars. First we went to Deception Pass in Washington, drove over the iconic bridge and went to the West Beach (I think it was West Beach) Amphitheater where there was a beach the kids played at.
They all found rocks they loved.
After our brief stint at Deception Pass, we went to Tulip Town. Lily met up with her friend Amy there so they walked around together while I went around with the kids. Lily said she and Amy connect really well and she had a great time chatting about Fascism, Canada (as in move there if the US becomes fascist) and other topics.
I rode the trolley with the kids and then walked around the tulips with them. There was a sign saying most all of their tulip crop died because of flooding last year, which is really sad, but it was still really fun to walk around.
People had blue lips because of the blue popcorn they ate. I made the dad joke that their two lips are blue lips.
After walking around I ate with the kids. They happily talked for about an hour at this table. Then Soren impressed us by playing a boy much bigger than him in connect 4 (a giant game almost as tall as Soren) and beating him.
When we got back to the house, we heard that Ammon and Meera played so happily together all day. The also got to watch some movies since Friday is Meera’s TV day.
Here is more Foosball action!
