Outings

We have started to be a little more adventurous in taking Reese places. This week my parents invited us to a client event for my Dad's work. We felt a little out of place- the event was for the top clients from my Dad's branch of Morgan Stanley- Smith Barney. Basically it was a lot of wealthy older couples and us with our stroller. It was fun though- they held it at the Seattle Aquarium. Reese slept most of the time, but she did wake up at the end to look at some fish. The river otters are usually our favorite attraction (we want to have some as pets one day) but they were cuddled up sleeping. But the sea otters kept us entertained for awhile- especially this little guy. He was swimming around on his back and just did not want to get his little face wet.

The event included a nice dinner and a 45 minute presentation from some financial speaker. I pretty much tuned out, but Spencer found it interesting. I was so proud of him: we were at a table with these older gentleman and they started talking about the energy sector and some new wind farm. Spencer piped right up and shared his infinite knowledge of wind farms. They were asking him questions and he was answering all articulately and stuff. It was awesome.

The weather has been beautiful, so yesterday we decided to take a little hike. We drove up to the Denny Creek area and hiked to Franklin Falls. The scenery here is always to pretty and we had a great time. Reese pretty much slept in her little carrier the whole hike. Having a baby definitely changes how you do things- everything just takes a lot longer, but of course it is worth it.
