Fourth of July Weekend

Alex and Julia had a full weekend which was very fun:
-- Alex's Soccer
-- "Camp" while Daddy and Mommy played tennis
-- The Woodland Park Zoo
-- The Somerset Neighborhood Fourth of July Parade
-- Playing baseball and soccer with the neighborhood kids, including some big kids
-- Playing in the sand at Newcastle Beach -- the sun finally came out at 3pm on Monday
-- Evening fireworks in downtown Bellevue with an R&B band and then the Bellevue Philharmonic
-- The Mariner game on Monday

It was a very fun weekend. Alex is suddenly able to climb to the top of the playground at Safeco Field. He is also now able to stay up past 11pm if fireworks are involved. It was the latest he has been up since he was a baby. Julia slept through the fireworks with ear plugs in. Julia's favorite thing to say this weekend was "ya ya ya ya ya" in a very sweet voice.
