Muk-ing around

CHANGE UP: So, we didn't plan to go to Mukilteo today, but since CJ left some important stuff in G&G's car, up to Muk we went, after the kids' guitar lesson.

Turns out it was a happy accident. It was warm and lovely out today, and we five, plus two pups, went for a walk along the waterfront in Mukilteo, WA. 

The kids hunted Pokeman and we all herded Havanese. ;)

 Beyond the kids, you can see Whidbey Island. 

We had Insider Connections during our visit to the lighthouse. We learned how to ring the dinner bell ... 

 and we got to see inside the grounds' work shed.

 The little lighthouse in Mukilteo is more than just a pretty place. It has historical significance. 

Boeing planes, trains, automobiles and ferries, the Mukilteo waterfront has it all!

HUMANKIND: One of CJ's latest obsessions is how humankind populated the various continents, islands, etc.

Christian found this video online, which we all watched tonight.

ZOMBIE NATION: This morning, as an eerie fog enveloped our neighborhood, Annabelle and I were up working on a cake for a friend. Specifically, a zombie-themed cake. 

The fog was so thick, at 6:20 a.m., I couldn't see the streetlights a half block away!

To finish the cake for a 9 a.m. pick up, we had to make a marbled blue and purple fondant wrap for the sides of a three-layer cake, add 'dirt' to the top, affix zombie silhouettes to the perimeter, and then plant the gumpaste zombie hand and fingers, and then add rocks around the bottom perimeter.

There were a few tense moments, but it turned out OK, I guess.  My photos of it are less-than-stellar. I really need a new camera. My Nikon is failing. :(
