cruisin

we had a great ride/walk this morning at lake wilderness.  we went on the path above the lake and the kids rode their bikes, while jarad chased and closely followed ryder (who is still a new rider) and i walked banjo.  we went over three miles and halfway stopped at the park to play.  everyone had so much fun and there was no whining or crying!  looking forward to doing this again!

cottage cheese

i have always liked cottage cheese, and lately i have been obsessed with it.  so many ways to enjoy it, both savory and sweet.  i tried a new way that was very interesting.  with spicy chili oil and honey, yum!

start the car

it has been a while since i have had a "start the car" moment.  then i found this treasure hidden behind some other vases.  it is a fiesta tangerine monarch vase.  it is not my style at all, but for under $5, i was thrilled to snatch it up!

lifting literacy

i love this program that the school puts on at the library, making reading fun for kids!  with earth day around the corner they had a fun flower planting craft, outdoor scavenger hunt and earth day themed story time.  and i always love getting to catch up with head of bowie's reading program there.

car museum

two museums back to back.  we have driven by the "america car" museum in tacoma many times and i have always wanted to visit.  thanks to our neighbor for letting me know that the 3rd saturday of the month is free for kids and they provide a family friendly STEM activity.  today was making a wind powered car, they provided all the supplies and had fans so you could test our your design.  after the project, there were 3 levels of so many beautiful cars to see and enjoy!
