Preschool Family Picnic

Every year the preschool puts on a family picnic at the park so that all of the families and teachers can get together, relax and spend a few hours together before the end of the school year. Since the preschool started this tradition, the day of the picnic has always been rainy and wet, but they still had fun and made the best of it. 
I dont know if we brought extra luck with us (being that this was our first year there) but the day of the picnic was sunny, warm and perfect.  The kids had the chance to run around and play on the really cool playground, eat hot dogs and cupcakes and enjoy time with their friends outside of school. It gave the parents a chance to mingle and talk as well.

The picnic was a big hit and the beautiful sunny weather was the icing on the cake. To top it all off, the kids in Abby’s Pre-K class even found a dead snake and decided to share it with everyone!  There were a few terrified screams, especially from the mothers of the boys who carried it over with big grins on their faces. Priceless!

Beautiful Afternoon at the Park

The sun has been out and despite a few clouds in the sky, its been warm and beautiful. So Shaun and I packed up a picnic basket and we headed to one of our favorite parks for some lunch and play time. The day was perfect and the ducks were out in full force. Abby and Ellie made a few freinds too! Ducks friends that is.
I love Seattle and days like this just enforce my love for this place. I love the rain but I also love that it made me appreciate the sunny and beautiful days even more.
