Lucy has a cousin - and he's super cute!

Lucy and her cousin Austin went to a little amusement park last weekend (see prior pony ride pictures), and they both had a great time in the (hot hot) sun. Thankfully for Lucy, Austin is extremely is patient with her somewhat...ahem...dictatorial management style.

Lucy rode a pony!

It's not a penguin, which would have been her first choice, but was still fun. More pictures of the "amusement" park still to come...and by "amusement" I mean, "holy crap, how hot can it possibly get and it costs HOW MUCH to get in here??"

Lucy loves summer. All one day of it.

Summer has finally arrived in Seattle, and we all know it could end at any minute. We have been spending every minute outside and going to the local beaches and parks as much as possible. Lucy has learned a number of new concepts from these outings, including "SUNSCREEN NO!" and "more fruit snacks!" Because, let's face it, nothing says "enjoying nature" quite like sitting in the car eating preformed sugar and preservative filled "fruit" out of an Earth-killing plastic bag. She does love the water though and has a lot of fun with Brian standing in the surf until her lips are blue. Ahhhh....summer in the Northwest.
