Sam Turns 3 and Other Adventures

We had my parents, sister, and her three girls come visit for a little over week to celebrate the 4th of July and Sam's 3rd birthday. We had such a great time together and did lots of fun stuff (I had to miss some of these activities because I had to work. For a full account, see my dad's blog):

- Watched a parade in downtown Everett
- Watched fireworks over Lake Stevens
- Went to Forest Park's petting zoo
- Swam at a pool
- Enjoyed a scenic drive to Snoqualmie Falls
- Played at the beach (though there wasn't much beach because the tide was so high)
- Enjoyed a couple free movies at the local movie theater
- Went bowling
- Went to a fun concert in the park at Silver Lake
- Had dinner at the farmers market and enjoyed the bluegrass music in the park
- Enjoyed another scenic drive to Deception Pass on Whidby Island, and a ferry ride back to Everett
- Celebrated Sam's 3rd birthday on Jetty Island

Sunday morning after my dad, sister, and the girlies had left for their long drive home (my mom flew home later that evening), Sam woke up and asked where everyone went and when there were coming back. He cried when I told them they were gone. He had such a good time with his cousins.

We didn't take any pictures because the batteries died in the camera. But we did take a few movies, so enjoy! The first part of this first clip is very reminiscent of Sam's 2nd birthday.
