LAKESIDE: On Friday, we took advantage of sunshine and a break in my work schedule and met Kennedy at a park. Specifically, Gasworks Park on the north shore of Lake Union.
We brought along a couple of tabletop games, but nothing too elaborate, because we had to carry them a way, and we didn't want anything that had a bunch of cards that would blow away. That's how CJ and Kennedy wound up playing Pass the Pigs.
The photo above is what playing games with someone outside of your household looks like - outside, both masked and a tub of bleach wipes in the foreground.
While CJ and Ken played with plastic pigs. Annabelle managed to put together a rather complicated pirate ship kite. We brought it along because the park has a spot called Kite Hill.
Here's a far-away photo of the kids atop the hill. Unfortunately, the winds were uncharacteristically nonexistent on Friday, so they didn't catch any good air.
But they did catch a *little* air.
HOME WRECKERS: In other news, the hole in the wall has grown substantially. On Friday, the kids and I removed several square feet of Sheetrock.
Annabelle was still wearing her robe during the demo.
GREENERY: Well, we finally have a couple dozen tomatoes growing on our rather pathetic plants.
The ones on the 'chocolate' tomato plant have gotten color the quickest.
PRINT VERSION: As previously chronicled in the blog a couple of days back, CJ and Annabelle recently won a cooking contest held by The Seattle Times. The story was online a few days ago, but on Friday the print version came out. So, we had to go buy a newspaper. I can't remember the last time we did that.
The photo of the kids' creation was the biggest one on the cover of the "Weekend Plus" section. The story was on the pages inside.
