Happy Birthday Netters...

I had a great birthday this year. Rob took me to La Conner for the weekend, a sleepy little waterfront town on the North Puget Sound. Even though I've lived in Western Washington my whole life I've never been. It was just the relaxing get away we needed. We spent time walking through boutiques and galleries, admiring the local blown glass, eating good food and being thankful neither of us like collecting antiques. It was a great way to spend my 32nd. But best of all because it was just the two of us. Thanks Honey, I had a great time with you! Xoxo

The Fountain...

These are going way back... To May. (God, time goes by fast!) It's the Seattle Center Fountain during Folklife. It was a hot day out and the fountain was backlit from the sun highlighting the spray. It was so mesmerizing watching the people dash in and out, trying to get wet while trying to avoid getting wet all at the same time. I could have sat there for hours with my camera glued to my face.

Day at the Zoo...

Earlier this month I spent a fun afternoon at Woodland Park Zoo (in Seattle) with some good friends. Everyone had a great time looking at all of the animals! Here's some pics of what we saw, keep scrolling down to see our cutie-patootie zoo-goers.

Zoo Kids...

My best friend from high school, Sundi, and her (triplet!) girls were visiting from Arizona this July/Aug. Jason, Shawna, Talan and I met Sundi and her girls at the zoo. The girls loved looking at all the animals, especially the hippos and monkeys. Jocelyn was my little buddy that day (Sundi says she has a thing for blondes!). She was very happy and always smiling. The littlest one, Cali, was so sweet and a total ham. Delaney was darling and little Miss Independant. She was content hanging out in the stroller or toddling off to explore the world. All three girls were so sweet and well behaved. Even little Talan barely made a peep the whole day. Talk about superstar kids! It was a really fun afternoon. I'm so glad we were able to meet up :)

People, People Everywhere!

There were a ton of people at Folklife! But that's what's nice about these kinds of events, they bring all different walks of life together and everybody just hangs out and has a good time. It makes for some good people watching too!

Things we saw at Folklife...

Saw some interesting things at Folklife... Lots of people walking around offering free hugs for sale (although most of them you wouldn't want hugs from!) Saw entertainers and artists, clowns and Japanese Geisha dancers to name a few. But most of all we saw a lot of musicians. All different types and genres, playing alone or in little groups. Hoping for some exposure and extra cash from tips and cd sales.
