Mud Bath

Jennica discovered a mud puddle at Shawn's softball game Friday night.  She ran through it a few times before I could catch her and then sat down in it.  So we figure what the heck, just let her play, she was muddy already.  That sweet girl played and played, picking up mud and squishing it in her hands.  Since the Columbia River is right there at the park, we gave her a bath in the river before heading home.  

It's a Beautiful Day for Road Trip

So Shawn discovered his new love on Craig's List, in Port Townsend, Washington, about 4 hours from home.  We set off last Saturday, July 19 at 7 am to check it out and come home with it if she was as nice as the pictures and description.  Well, after driving over the pass to Everett (2 1/2 hours), a suburb north of Seattle, we had to take a ferry.  We were excited about it but weren't anticipating the hour and a half wait to get on it.  We sat in traffic, parked with the car off for most of the time.  Luckily we had packed some sandwiches and had drinks in the car so we happily ate lunch and got out to stretch.  The ferry ride is only 30 minutes, so we quickly got back on the road with about 45 more minutes to go.  I think it was love at first sight for Shawn... Then he got on it and he never stopped smiling .  The ride home was long for us, we stopped several times because Shawn was now following Jennica and I on his bike, for the 4 hour ride home.  Jennica was great in the car, as long as she can watch her movies (Elmo is her favorite).  So now Shawn is as happy as a clam to finally have a motorcycle again.  He has been riding it to work every day and to his softball games.  By the way for all you motorcycle junkies or wanna be's... it is a 1996 Yahama Virago 1100.

This is Shawn's newest hobby!
