Lazy Hazy Days

K and I went to Matthew's Beach today to enjoy some sun. Our house is less than a mile from the park which makes it an ideal mini-getaway for some outdoor time. There were lots of other people with the same idea as us - kids on the playground, bikers, people swimming or tossing a frisbee. It was a parade of Seattleites coming out of our caves, and Kellen loved watching it all roll by our comfy spot under a tree.

What he loved more than people watching though was the swings. He had a great time swinging back and forth, me pushing him higher and higher, all the while smiling and giggling while checking out the view from the air. I couldn't stop taking pictures even though almost all of them were blurry. I just wanted to remember how dang happy he was to be suspended in mid-air, gliding back and forth. Don't worry, I did put the camera away so that I could actually, you know, spend time with my kid.

This is exactly the kind of day I spent my time daydreaming about when I was pregnant last summer. Aww.

(PS- When I exclaimed to Matt "Look at the adorable baby-muscle-tank I got!" and showed him the tank-top Kellen has on in these pics, he looked at the top, looked at me, said "Um, no. He's not wearing that." then went back to whatever he was doing. Apparently the man has no taste for badassness. We decided not to get him tickets to the gun show.)

Oh, not much really, just portion control and lots of water.

Watching the parade.

He actually looks kind of terrified in this shot.
