The Sehome Arboretum and Taylor Dock

On Saturday we decided to get outside and go for a little walk/hike. I had heard good things about the Sehome Arboretum, on the campus of Western Washington University so we thought we'd give it a try. We hiked up to the Observation Tower and, although it had a nice view and Annaliese loved climbing all the steps, it also smelled like beer and weed so we didn't stay long.

Annaliese stepped on this bug...and it didn't even seem to notice!

 Once we got down from the tower, Annaliese just wanted to run! She would run way ahead of us and then turn around and come running back! Pretty impressive considering she also had crazy amounts of diarrhea all weekend. Favorite quote of the weekend: "Mom, my butt keeps peeing."

She thought she needed to use the bathroom...but she said she wanted to use a real toilet. So she waited until we got home!

This walk ended up being rather short, mostly because Kyle's feet hurt, Annaliese wouldn't pee in nature, and Haleigh-bear was overly tired and wouldn't stop crying! But we weren't quite ready to just go home so we headed to Fairhaven and Taylor Dock. Taylor Dock is basically a boardwalk out over the water that ends at a coffee shop and park. 

 Clearly excited to be in the stroller...

Our walk ended at Woods Coffee so some hot chocolate and banana bread put everyone in a better mood!

Not so sure about the whipped cream!
