We now have two matching adirondack chairs in our back yard! They look really nice sitting on the flagstone patio next to our copper fire bowl. Because mommy and daddy had already made one chair, they knew what to expect from the second one, and it only took them half the time to make it. So......this weekend included some leisure time at Green Lake. On our way to the park, mommy and daddy stopped to pick up a couple of sandwiches at one of their favorite sandwich shops, Port of Subs. This sub shop is a west coast chain, and they usually have really good sour dough bread, except for this day. It happened to be a little dry. We took the sandwiches to the park with us and had a picnic while we watched the parade of people and their dogs walk by. After we ate and played for a while, we walked around the lake ourselves. One loop around is just shy of three miles. We walked slow so it took us a little over an hour to make it back to where we started.
Boy, the park was hopping with some interesting people. We saw people walking a tight rope that they had strung up between two trees. We saw a group of men line dancing on roller skates to music blasting out of a jamb box. And we saw a guy riding a bicycle with a seat that had to be at least 7 feet off the ground. There were also lots of kids there playing soccer and volleyball on the grassy fields. We all had one thing in common: we were all there to enjoy the wonderful seventy degree weather that is September here in Seattle.

Jamb box? You mean those are still around? I guess the IPod's are the only thing you can listen too!
It sure sounds like you had fun. The distance to our lake is over 3 miles, so we don't get a chance to walk around it very often! LOL!
Your grandpa and great uncle Vern used to have a unicycle with a seat way off the ground. When you are older, and if you think about it, you ask your grandpa about it. They used to sit on the roof of the house to get on it. I have no idea how they ever got off.
We missed all of you at the reunion! You would have had fun seeing all of your extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and on and on. One of these days, maybe great aunt Linda will write in her blog about the fun time we had!
