Checking out the waterfall
We've taken a liking to the Seattle Watershed Welcome Cetnter, and the walking trails around Rattlesnake Lake, Its a short distance from where we live, so its easy access... and the more we go, the more fun we find... =]

We all went down for a walk near Rattlesnake Lake, and had a fun time...

Out to the Mountain
We went out to Mt St Helens as part of The Shadow Lady's birthday weekend... We had a great time, and the little guy wore himself out taking in all there was to see!

In the Park
We went to the park, and had a great time! As usual, it was nearly empty... I still think that's pretty odd!

Playing with the digger

Swordfights!
The little guy and mom had fun with old Christmas paper tubes...

Swordfights!

Taking pictures of the wind
The little guy was playing in the window, while watching the trees blow in the wind. He asked for my phone, then asked me to start the camera, and then he snapped a few pictures for memory's sake... for a little guy, he's not bad at all!

Taking pictures of the wind

Buzz Lightyear
The little guy discovered Toy Story right around Thanksgiving time. He really liked Buzz Lightyear, so we made sure that Santa got him one for Christmas. Its fun to watch him play with it!

Buzz Lightyear

Playing with the Train
He REALLY likes his GeoTrax set! He likes to take the engineer and put him in the cargo car... not sure why that is, but he's pretty insistent that he belongs there.

Playing with the Train

Christmas Lights
We went to check out the Christmas Light display put on by the Bellevue Botanical Gardens... it was an incredible display of lights shaped into flowers, plants and animals... very impressive! The little guy really had a good time, and didn't want to leave.

Where does he get his stuff?
The little guy asked me to take a picture of him, and he posed a certain way... not once, but twice, he apparently didn't like it the first time.

Where does he get his stuff?

Piling up on mom!
The little guy decided that mom needed to clean, and then spent a few minutes running back and forth from his room, piling an ample amount of cleaning supplies on her... =)

Piling up on mom!

Can you help me
The other day, the little guy was playing while we were talking in another room. After a brief moment of quiet, we heard a sheepish 'Can you help me?' We went into the bathroom to see what he wanted help with, and noticed that he'd made a bit of a mess! =)

Can you help me
