Hugging the Whale

Kids came up Thursday night on way to Bellingham...we celebrated birthdays of M and dil last night and today...Friday we played at the nearby "whale" park where when Z was two he hugged the whale here...we have a large canvas print on our wall of him hugging it....he remembered and wanted to have me take him hugging it today:) Go here to see the original whale hugging Z:)
      Extras are of newly two year old M sitting in the sailboat with a pensive expression and the other of Z and his mama riding the froggie.  
   We enjoyed an early morning park trip, some more playing at our house and a fun lunch at the nearby crossroads mall with their fantastic food court!  Then goodbyes as they headed up to their cousin's home in Bellingham.
