All Things Bellevue

Stick magic at the park. 

There's something nice about the familiar, but even that changes too. When I was growing up in Bellevue, the tallest building in town was my friend's mom's work building that sits next to the bus transfer station. Now there is a Bellevue Skyline that changes with each passing day. The view of Seattle we have now will be gone shortly, I'm sure, as new construction has begun in that direction. Pyper however, is enjoying the construction "toys" moving the dirt around. We watch them everyday do their work. 

We picked blueberries just down the road today, you pick $1.50 a pound. It's a historical blueberry field that is butted up between downtown and the water. It's pleasantly close and far away at the same time. The area is run by the City of Bellevue and is too swampy to build upon, thank goodness. We even picked blackberries along the trail as well. Can't stop a two year old from trying a crab apple if she finds one in her path. 

Perfect time of year as blueberries and blackberries come into season, followed by apples in the fall, or now. 

Last Friday was "free day" at the Art Museum. Teaching kids to not touch the art is harder when they are older...though now she can actually make art which is a plus. 

Paper Art is the theme at the museum right now. We made a pin wheel, which might be right where we left it, and then a couple things for Daddy. 

And of course the farmer's market is a stone's throw away now. We thought we lived close to the market in Greenville; I bet we can be there in less than 100 steps door to first stall. I'll make that my own personal challenge.  

Yumminess happening right now!!! Hitting up the Farmer's Market just like we use to with Katy and Tomas! We've been doing that for two years now. Also check out Katy's tiny baby bump.
