We drove up to Kent for another 10 days or so, one of my best friends from High school was having a baby shower that weekend and the next weekend my brother was graduating from college. So it just worked out to have an extended stay.
Such a cute elephant themed baby shower.
It was great to catch up with Taylor and Sam.
We tried out a new park, rode bikes and let the kids climb this tall rock thing that goes to the top of a slide. Upon visiting, I found it wasn't geared for little kids. But they had a good time anyway.
While we were at the beach Hayley got a loose tooth. We figured it would be awhile until it fell out but I suspect that once I told her she couldn't leave it alone and it came out within the next week.
Lake Meridian Park
Before graduation we got to go check out some of the senior projects. Jon was part of a group working on a sensor for the Port of Tacoma.
There was another group that modified a battery operated car for kids so that kids who can't turn a steering wheel, but can hold a joy stick can still join in on the fun. The students were excited to have actual kids try it out. They enjoyed it too.
Jon graduated from UW Tacoma!
It was an interesting ceremony keeping all the little ones occupied...
Hurray!
It was so fun to see family and spend lots of time together, but after nearly a month it was time to head home.
