We're trying to soak in as many summer adventures as we can before the weather turns here in Washington. Recently we rode the Surrey bikes (a 4 wheel bike with pedals for 2 side-by-side people and one working steering wheel, the other one was just for decoration) on Alki Beach in West Seattle. We were having a lot of fun for the first 30 minutes; Allen and I were pedaling and Esme was sitting in front and ringing the bell. However after awhile she was over it and was much more interested in watching the doggies, birdies, and boats in the water. We ended up making a lot of stops along the way just to keep her happy and us sane ;)
We also took Esme to the Cougar Mountain Zoo which is about 10 minutes from our house. I'm glad we discovered it cause it's just the right size for little kids and Esme's just the right age for the zoo now. The animals are all real close, there's not a lot of walking, and there's even areas to pet and feed the animals. Esme was a little scared of the alpacas so I ended up feeding them for her. Her favorite were the emu's I think and she also enjoyed watching the tiger pace around its rock mountain. She seemed almost mesmerized watching it.

Running away from daddy Decked out in all her jewelry
Doing acrobatics on the zoo cages Wearing a hat to cover up her bad hair day ;)
