Swinging In Seattle

Joshua was a little sleepless in Seattle too ... he apparently caught some type of airplane disease on our 3 hour flight and then was kind enough to infect everyone else with his germy gift! We were all thrilled! His cold, however, did not stop him from wanting ... err ... BEGGING ... to go "side!" That is all the kid really wanted to do ... he'd just stand at the door and say, "Side, side, side!" I'm guessing he's a little "outside deprived" from living in the hot desert. Once he tasted the pure joy of running through the grass and not sweating ... he was hooked!

Joshua loved going to the park with Bella and who wouldn't ... this park is right on the waterfront!

Yes ... these are stolen balloons! Just so you don't think I have a total thief on my hands ... they were blowing away from the little boy's party before JHB went in for the kill. Before he ran off with his find, the boy's mom did give her blessing!

SWINGING ... SWINGING ... SWINGING! He'd get a bit dazed after awhile but when you asked if he was done ... he'd simply reply ... "No ... more!"

To keep the stolen goods from flying into the ocean, Bella and Joshua filled the container with rocks.

And what beach experience is complete without throwing rocks ... J How was sure glad to see his Bella again! She teaches him all sorts of cool things like chicken noises and great rock throwing skills! Compared to her ... his mom is just boring!
