Seahurst Park!

We were supposed to go to Vashon Island to help at our church farm, but we missed the ferry! Jasper was really upset in the back seat and kept saying, "Please can we go on the ferry boat? Please can we go to the farm? Please can we go on the ferry boat", over and over again. We decided to make the best of being in West Seattle and found a great park to explore. We will definitely be going back when it is warm. It was pretty cold to the bone on the beach but once we started hiking into the woods it turned out to be quite pleasant.

There is a great rocky beach, a playground, a paved walking trail along the waterfront, and hiking trails into the woods. Here are some pics-






Not due to any parental coaching, I'm sure, Jasper is becoming quite the naturalist. He LOVES hugging trees (seriously) and learning the names of plants. Here he is being very gentle with a Tellima grandiflora or "fringecup" plant :)




Gideon's on the loose!

The boys found some stumps to sit on, perfectly sized for a 3 year old and 1 year old.


This was the best part of the day- a seriously huge muddy, sloshy section of the trail. After tromping around in it for 30 minutes and getting completely filthy we decided to call it a morning.
