Sounders game

Since Kayda and I were going on a hike, Daddy and the boys decided, last minute, it would be fun to go to a Sounders Game.  I'll let him write the rest.

We were able to get tickets last minute and headed to the train to ride to Seattle, which the boys had a fun time riding.

Carson didn't want his picture taken in front of Seahawks Stadium, where the Sounder's play.

The seats were 4 rows up in the upper deck and were great seats because all the action could be seen easily.  The Sounders won 1-0 over Sporting Kansas City (the win moved the Sounders into first place over Kansas City in the division).  The boys also had fun seeing and recognizing that what they do at practice, the professionals do as well.

Swimming with Daddy!

Kayda found a swimsuit I bought her last year so it was easier to use the potty.  She wouldn't wear it because she didn't like having her tummy exposed.  When she found it she decided that she HAD to wear it to go swimming.  So despite the fact that she just finished a round of the flu, and Mommy couldn't go swimming because she needs a swimsuit, they went swimming.  Kayda loved kicking around with a noodle or the pink mat.  Dillon's favorite part was jumping.  Unfortunately the camera wasn't getting clear shots of the kiddos mid-jump, they're a little blurry but you get the idea.  Daddy was a busy guy in the water with two little ones who can't swim too far on their own.  Kayda kept trying to swim off and Dillon just wanted to stay at the edge and keep jumping.  Mommy sat on the side taking pictures and having tons of mini-heart attacks (Daddy was much more lenient about proximity than Mommy would have been).

Kayda swimming, she started using breast stroke type arms though she's NEVER used them before.  We were very surprised.

 Kayda was "paddling" with the noodle.

 Blurry but you can see his smile!

Dillon swimming.  We have to remind him to keep his head down though.

 Kayda decided to pose mid-jump!



Date with Daddy

Daddy decided to take the kiddos to the Supermall to ride the carousel.  They made a whole date of it, McD's, a couple of carousel rides and a walk around the mall.  Mommy got to stay home and rest.  Thanks Daddy!
