Humming Bird

This little guy was teasing Roxy on the patio. He was so cute!

Nothing Says Easter Like Jousting

I must admit- I was feeling a little blue leading into Easter. First big holiday away from home and all. But then, while checking the mail I notice a box. A box for ME!!! Thanks sooo much to Dawn for sending us a little Easter gift. It really made my week :) 

It was so sweet (literally!) and we all had fun eating the yummies and modeling the bunny ears :)

And *somebody* even enjoyed snacking on the Easter grass lol

If you look closely at the picture below you can see the sweetest little humming bird perched among the pink flowers

For our Easter festivities we walked over to Gas Works Park and picked up some Subway on the way for a little picnic. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time. 

 

While we ate our sandwiches and looked out over Lake Union, a musician came up and was doing a photo shoot so we got serenaded by some AWESOME acoustic guitar music while we were eating. It was perfect!! 

I had a major cute attack watching this little girl run up the hill to her mommy. They were both all decked out in Easter's finest, and having a picnic on the hill. Cute overload!! 

I guess the park used to be where the gas company was, so they basically just painted and secured all the old equipment and now it's a playground, or something. 

Ah, the jousters.... I have no idea what is going on here, but it was interesting and made for a great photo opp! 

This is a statue in Fremont (right by where we live) and someone always dresses them up. Every few days it's a new outfit... I thought their Easter attire was especially cute! 

That night we went to Kletia's apartment to have some amazing food and meet her friends. We had a great time but I only took one pic. This is her cat Venus with Peter, and you can see Kletia cooking in the background. We had a really fun night, and I wish I would have taken more pictures! 

Hope everyone had a Great "American" Easter weekend! Orthodox Easter is actually this weekend :) 

Day trip to Bainbridge Island

Last weekend Peter and I boarded the ferry (after waiting an hour an a half) and went to Bainbridge Island where we visited a state park, went for a scenic drive, and ate at a really cool restaurant.  This first picture is driving through Pike Place Market on the way to the Ferry. As far as I can tell he was a break dancing robot- but the really weird part is if you look towards the right side of the picture you can see Luigi and Princess Peach watching the performance. Wierd! Gotta love Seattle :) 

This was the view from the truck while we were waiting for the ferry. Not too Shabby! At least I had a nice view while catching up on my Draw Something games   

A few pictures from on board. After the boat started moving we went inside because it was really cold and windy. But we did get to see some seals frolicking in the water. 

I think this is called the Waterfront District. A really good seafood restaurant The Crab Pot is one of the  buildings over the water. 

I love love love the icy white mountains against the blue sky 

This is from my iPhone maps- the blue dot is us while on the ferry  

Peter and I were awestruck over the emerald green foliage. The next few photos are of Fort Ward State Park.   

Wild growing lilies (I think) 

Walking trail 

The picture below is crossing over the Agate Pass Bridge 

We drove into a small Norwegian town called Poulsbo for lunch and ate at a really cool little spot called The Loft. The food was great and the view was too! 

Then we too a VERY scenic ride home and got to get a loser look at the Olympic Mountains, Mount Ranier, and we drove through Tacoma. See above for the route we took. 

Olympics Below- This picture does NOT do it justice.
