A Saturday At the Park(s)

Eighteen months ago we went to our old stomping grounds outside Seattle and visited Ami and A.  We used to live blocks from their house.  We went to check on our never-selling house and to visit.  A showed us around his town.  His favorite thing is the zoo. 

Zoe wanted to show him her favorite things:  parks, swings, splash pads and a carrousel.  First up was the splash pad and playground.  While Zoe did much swinging, A ran through the splash pad.

He's not too keen on getting water in his eyes.  Who can blame him?  Isn't that the cutest expression?  While he was running and squinting, Zoe was doing this:

She's not keen on getting water in her eyes either.  In her mouth a different story!

Pretty soon we had enough water and wanted to do something drier.  We headed to another park to ride the carrousel.

I warned Ami that we'd need to get two rides since once is just not enough.  After our two rides, we played on a big slide, watched the ducks and then ate some shaved ice.  Zoe certainly planned a fun day with her friend.

As we were ending our day on Sunday Zoe said, "I miss my best friend A." 

I think it's safe to say we'll have to do this again soon!

At least once I catch up on sleep.
