They sell shirts that say "I Love West Seattle" and I think it might be about time for our family to get some. There are very few reasons to cross the bridge to leave....
A few weeks ago we went to a big festival over here, West Seattle SummerFest. It was really exciting because Keaton got to go on his first carnival ride, swings! I didn't know if he would like it but he loved it. So time for him to start saving his piggy bank money for the fair.
A few days ago we went to a big kids party at the Hiawatha Community Center over here. They had a band, snow cones, fire trucks and lots of carnival games for $25 cents. Keaton got a hole in one playing golf! We came home with a red clown nose, plastic lizard, yellow ball...and way too many empty candy wrappers.
Today we went to the West Seattle Grand Parade. It started off a bit slow but Keaton stayed entertained by all the police motorcycles. Over 2 hours into the parade (I thought it would be about 30 minutes) the Seafair pirates came by. They had VERY loud explosions coming from their boat and a bunch of pirates running wild. One ran right up to Keaton with a giant sword and a very scary voice and said "I'm going to carve your eyes out" or something like that....I didn't hear him finish because Keaton was SCREAMING for his life! And that was the end of the parade for us.
I don't know what is planned for the rest of Summer (besides the weekly outdoor concerts and movies and all the wading pools/parks/etc.) but I'm sure we will find a lot to stay busy.
I love his move on the bouncy house.
