Graesen and I traveled with my mom over to the west side of the state this weekend. We were there to celebrate Addison's (my niece) 3rd birthday.
Graesen did not particularly like the drive over, unless he was asleep. It was too bad he couldn't see out his window better, because there were some beautiful views.
Once there, Graesen really enjoyed some time with his cousins on a playground at the beach.
He even got to feel the cool waters of the Puget Sound for the first time.
His cousins had a lot of fun in the water too! :)
Graesen also got to experience feeding chickens for the first time.
The Hello Kitty party was very fun. Graesen got to help make his own flower pot. Unfortunately, he decided he liked eating his marker more than drawing with it (thankfully it was washable and non-toxic).
Graesen even made a friend with Cora. He liked her at first, until she pulled his hair and pushed him. He cried. I think he was a little embarrassed to be beat up by a girl :)
On the way back we took the ferry. Graesen loved looking out the window and playing on the floor (I did my best to keep him on the blanket).
The coast guard kept us safe!
I was very excited, because I saw the fin of either a whale or a dolphin. I wish I knew for sure which (if it was a whale it was only the top of the fin). I am always looking for whales when I am on the ferry.
We stopped for some shopping on the way home. Poor Graesen was sooo tired after all the fun.
