Oh my! This summer so far had been quite an adventure! We had the opportunity to go to southwest Washington to visit my family. It was so nice to be there especially since Belen hadn't seen her MiMi and Granpa in a YEAR! I know, sad! Belen absolutely LOVED all the space to run around in at my parents house, playing with Sadie the dog, chasing down a skittish Shadow the kitty, and watching the birds play in their cage.
While we were there Belen took every opportunity to disappear....ahh EXPLORE... One second she was in the room with us, the next she was in the neighbors fishing boat, or standing at the side of the house talking to Sadie the dog through the fence with her discarded poopy diaper on the ground beside her wearing NOTHING else but her shoes! The really yucky thing was...no one ever found the poopy!
I got the opportunity to spend my birthday with my twin sister! I don't know what you've been told, but after spending every birthday your entire life with someone as close as a sibling (especially a twin) when you move off on your own and start having birthdays to yourself...it feels like something, or someONE, is missing. It was nice not to have that feeling this year!
We also got to take Belen to the Children's Museum out there. She has an amazing time and so did Zak and I...chasing after her from one activity to the next. It was so much fun just watching her explore everything!
Driving a car at the Bob the Builder exhibit.
Helping Daddy with a bit o'face paint!
Gettin' wet!
"Do I want to put my head in there?"
Back for a touch up.
The clay art exhibit.
One last trip down the slide back at the Bob the Builder exhibit.
A chat with the locals.
And apparently this trip to the NW just couldn't be complete without an up close and personal visit by a Brown Recluse spider...it just gives me the heebie-geebies thinking about it!
P.S. More to come, keep checking back in the next few days!

You just made me miss "home" even more!! My 3 older kids are out there right now (for 2 weeks) and I want to be there too. Very cute pics of Belen.
I miss it too. I learned on our last visit though that Zak and I may actually be "country" people.
Country people as opposed to city people? Or just small town people? I'm glad you guys were able to go and have fun with your family and spend your birthday with them. :)
Fun Fun, ahhh I miss home!! I love Belen's "war" painted face.
I was really enjoying all your happy photos and then along came a spider! Yikes! It looks like you guys are having way too much fun these days! I hope you are feeling well and that the baby comes soon! :)
