Seattle Part 2

I better write about the rest of our trip before I forget! On Saturday we went to Big Rock Park and then Pine Lake where we had great fun. While we did that Jake rented a mountain bike and went on his all-time favorite ride. For reals. Just another reason he loved Seattle. We all met up that afternoon and headed out on Lake Sammamish for some boating fun. Mel's friends were super nice to take us all out. Way back in the day we had a boat, but so long ago that the kids hardly remember it. After I wake boarded Sage said, "Mom I didn't know you could do that!" Obviously it's been too long. The lake was beautiful and we all had a lot of fun. So much fun that we're now looking at getting our own boat. Hooray!

On Sunday we followed church up with a hike-a-walk to Snoqualmie Falls. Of course, beautiful, but also full of people. Monday morning we headed back to Seattle to kayak on Lake Union. This was so great! We were right by all the big buildings, huge yachts, and lots of sea planes. In fact, one sea plane took off so close to Sage and I that we thought we were going to die. Very exciting! The afternoon was spent at Pine Lake for the win. Gotta love that place.

Sadly, we had to leave Tuesday. But before we left paradise Jake and Zack and I went on a hike with Randy. It was a good 7 mile hike to Mason Lake. So beautiful with amazing views of Mount Rainier. We didn't enjoy the lake for too long because the mosquitoes were so bad we thought they were going to pick us up and carry us away. But other than that we had a great time. We ended our stay with a stop at Triple X for the biggest, best root beer floats ever. And onion rings. I didn't want to move ever again. Zack was in heaven and finished a whole one himself. Crazy!
