Jana took a day trip to Seattle to see her grandkids. She decided the 5 hour drive from Spokane was worth a good day of memories and hugs -- we didn't mind a bit. Jana, Ali, Thayne and Lydia joined us around noon at a beautiful lake near our house, Lake Meridian. We spent the whole afternoon enjoying it. It has a great enclosed sandy beach that we could play in. We even found a big shaded spot under a tree that the other Seattleites seemed to be avoiding (I think everyone was just so excited about the sun shining that they were soaking it all up). We had a picnic lunch, the kids played in the water and we even played a little bit of pregnant lady chase the toddlers and hide and seek. :)
We didn't bring sand toys, but some super nice kids let them play with theirs. After seeing the hours of entertainment and joy it brought to these kids, I picked up a good supply and can't wait to use them!

So cute!!
When we got back to the house, I threw some dinner together while Grandma read to and played cards with the kiddos.
Then around 7:30pm Taylor and Tyler got home from a 3 hour, 30+ mile bike ride. Tyler rode from his Amazon office in Seattle to our house. Taylor left work in Redmond and met up with him in Bellevue and they rode the rest of the trails together. They were exhausted and sweaty, but super excited about their accomplishment in that 80 degree weather. You go guys!! I just love their new hobby. I can't wait to join in on the real cycling after little sister comes.
