O, P, and Q days!

O day was for Owen Beach. It fell on a weekend, and we had mixed weather. It did rain on us, but only for a few minutes, and after a bit the sun came out and it was actually nice! The kids each had a friend over. Ilea's friend was Sammy, and Kyler had Joshua. They had a great time playing by the water, walking on logs, and throwing rocks. Owen's beach is at Point Defiance, a wonderful park in Tacoma. We could have spent all day there if we had time. We did stop at the park at the front entrance, and let the kids run over to the island in the pond. They saw ducks and turtles. It was a pretty good trip.


P day was sort of a mixed bag. Kyler went on a Playdate with Lucas, which sort of counts, right? And Ilea, Kipp and I went to go see Harry Potter, which also has a P in it. We loved the movie. For dinner we had Potstickers and Pork fried rice. That was all we could do.

Q is a tough one also. In the afternoon, the kids and I went to a park. Ilea and I played Qwirkle. Kyler didn't want to play. At the end of the game, he came over saying he had gotten hurt, and wanted to go home. He had made a big jump, and seemed to have gotten the wind knocked out of him. The jump kind of hurt his back, traveling up his spine, and he just wanted to rest. So we went home then, for him to go to bed. He was fine the next day. For dinner that night we had chicken Quesadillas. They were pretty tasty. There's not too much you can do on Q day...
