September Fun, Part 2 - Tri-Cities Park Play Date


Just before school started, we had the opportunity to meet little cousin Sydney, who is 3 months older than Ascha, for the first time. Her mom (Jeremy's sister Maria) drove with Grandma Janet from Spokane and we drove from Vancouver to "meet in the middle." We met at the wonderful Columbia Park in Tri-Cities for a play date.

Can you tell these two little girlies are related?

Grandma Janet took the opportunity to celebrate Aric's birthday a touch early and brought along cupcakes, frosting, and gifts

MMMmmm...

I love this expression. Aric is such an all-out personality that when he's happy, everyone around him knows it (same when he's sad or mad, but those are different stories :-). This little white tiger has always lived at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and Aric has always loved it and wanted to take it home with him. It was such a wonderful surprise gift he could hardly believe it (if only present giving could remain that simple! :-)



It was a great play date. The little girls so enjoyed finally getting to play together, and the big boys loved the park, chasing the seagulls, and, of course, cupcakes. It was a very long day with 8 hours of drive time, but it was well worth it.
