Tyler's 2nd Birthday at Newcastle Beach Park

This afternoon Tyler had another birthday party, this time at Newcastle Beach Park in Bellevue. Mary and Mike arrived early to claim two picnic tables and set up the birthday trimmings. Ruthie and Jack arrived next followed by Jeannie. The wind was blowing strongly although it was a fairly warm day. Then Scott appeared with the Birthday boy on his arm! Jim and Vickie soon arrived, then Diane coming from work. Gail soon showed up and finally Sandi and Dick to make a very nice group of guests. The meal was delicious with everyone providing a special dish. Tyler had a great time chasing balls hit by Jimmy, enjoying the play area, throwing stones in the water, and eating birthday cake, among other activities. We all had a great time!

Tyler's 2nd Birthday

Sunday, June 7, Tyler and his friend Jackson celebrated their birthdays. Jackson was two May 22, and Tyler will be two June 16. The party was held at Toddler Gym in Issaquah. There were many friends present along with their parents who helped them navigate the exciting gym features and play the group games organized by the gym personnel. After the fun activity, the group moved into another room full of balloons and Elmo table settings and were served a delicious meal of fresh fruit and cupcakes. Everyone, including the parents and friends had a great time!

Today Mary, Gail, and Mike started out on their hike from the Sky Country Trail head on Cougar Mt. Gail bravely decided to go even though the rain was pouring down by her house as she got ready to leave. The hike was great. Only at times we could feel a light drizzle as we walked along the lushly green forested paths which connected two trail heads. The bright green foliage cascaded from trees and bordered our path while only a light mist occurred at times. We all loved the hike which took almost exactly 2 hours.
