My, what a busy week for our Big Dutch Toddler!
Saturday found us in Seattle, joining Dave as he attended the annual meeting of the American Cheese Society. And just let me mention that Dave also just published an article in "Culture" magazine! Check out his
very cheesy webpage. Anneke and I tooled around the waterfront and went to the Seattle Aquarium.
Then! A colleague of mine invited us out to her home, where she has a business doing Equine Assisted Therapy (that would be Horse Therapy, I guess--very cool actually. Let me know if you want more info!). Anneke got to ride a horse named Sterling who was gentle and just the right height, bless his heart. Anneke LOVED it. She also got to brush Sterling and lead him around. AND she met a horse named Patrick. He pooped right in front of us--very fascinating. Notice Anneke's boots. Thanks, Juliette!
By then we were on a roll of enriching, over-stimulating activities and decided to meet up with friends
Henry,
Little S, and Alex, Lucy, and Baby Harper at Oaks Amusement Park. And let me tell you...well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I love the very non-P.C.-for-Inner-Southeast-Portland guns mounted on the airplane ride. That's Henry in the car with Anneke. Rest assured, they're only friends--no car dating until she's sixteen!

Props to Anneke for going on the Tilt-a-whirl ride. The video suggests she wasn't thoroughly enjoying herself on that one but she hung in there! Great to see you guys again.
If only we'd known we were up north at the same time--it would have been so fun to meet up (since we can't seem to coordinate enough to meet up here!). Sorry we missed the Oaks Park fun; the gun rocketship is Josie's favorite ride.
well anneke will fit right in to the non-pc rides with guns around ar next time she visits! ;)
Summer in the NW isn't so bad!
