Today was such a fun day! After nearly 2 hours of trying to get out the door (this is not unusual, it's a regular occurrence when trying to head out for the day...diapers, lunch, snacks, wipes, burp cloths, change of clothes, milk, KIDS-all while managing a fussy baby and busy toddler!) we made it out the door and headed to my mom's to pick her up. We originally planned to try out the new spray park in Tukwila. I recently discovered spray parks...they are awesome! They're free (the best part) and Lucas just loves running around and getting wet. Well, the weather didn't cooperate so we revised our plan and just decided to see the spray park and hope that there was a playground near by. Since we were going to be in the area, we made a quick stop to visit Josh at the job site in SeaTac. Lucas LOVES visiting "dada" at work and seeing all the "cars" (trucks, dump trucks, dozers, etc.) so if we're ever around the job sites, we try to stop by for a quick hi. Then we went to our favorite mommy-daughter lunch spot to Sushi Land. We LOVE Sushi Land! It's a sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt that travels around all the seats and booths and you just grab whatever dish you want. Each plate is a different color to let you know of the price. Today was a little disappointing as they didn't have any of our favorites. Oh well, I guess we'll have to go again.=)

Look at that face! He's got his mommy's cheeks for sure! |
After Sushi Land we headed to the spray park. It still wasn't warm enough to play in the water, though I'm sure Lucas wouldn't have cared. But luckily there was a playground so we let Lucas burn off some energy. He loves going down the "swing"...he calls the slide a swing. He knows the word because of Channing's baby swing and he just decided the slide would be called that too.

| I love when he goes down slides, his hair sticks straight up, as if he's touching one of those electrical current balls you find at gadget stores. |
The park became so busy with kids at summer camp and Lucas hadn't had a nap (he becomes super clumsy when he's tired) so we headed home. But not without a stop at Starbucks and Wal-Mart for "only a few things" which quickly became more than a few things for both my mom and I after browsing the 50% off clearance isles. On the plus side, I got a great deal for a friend and some cheap stickers for Lucas' 2nd birthday party. As I told my mom..."I love how women justify spending money on anything".=)
