Our last day in Washington! Here Dennis is trying on Mirella's sunglasses. He looks like a mini Elton John. This is not a good thing, but wearing the glasses made him giggle. He walked around in them for several minutes, giggling mischievously.
Today we went to Hovander Park, where there was a demonstration farm that the kids enjoyed a good bit. Dennis met some cows, turkeys, peacocks, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, chickens, geese, and rabbits. He said all of those words except rabbit! He walked around so well, even though the ground was wet from all the rain yesterday and this morning. He's getting to be so mobile! He enjoyed sitting on a tractor and attempting to steer it. He also very much enjoyed the boardwalk that wanders through a bog at the park, talking the whole time, narrating our tour from his seat in the stroller.
He saw a big waterfall today, and he was very impressed. We stopped by Whatcom Falls Park to see the effects of all the rain, and the falls were powerful! Dennis was entranced, and he stared at the view, smiled, and waved at the waterfall a number of times. He talked all the way back to Gran's place.
Tonight Michael and Kristin made a delicious dinner for all of us and the children enjoyed playing with all the toys (and Dennis especially enjoyed relocating the toys). A sitter came (the nice girl that keeps Caedmon in church nursery) after the kids went to bed to watch (well, listen for) them while the adults went out for a decadent dessert date at Nimbus, a restaurant located at the top of Bellingham Towers with a gorgeous view of the bay and nearby islands and city of Bellingham. Too soon we were back here and now are in the midst of a packing frenzy. Mom (Gran) is staying another week, so Dennis and Pop and I will be flying without her tomorrow. Maybe I'll get to take the carseat on the plane in her place...
