We visited many different parks while we were in Seattle. Jonah rode to the first one in style in Grandad’s red wagon.

His climbing skills have really improved recently, and he loves to climb up something and go down a slide over and over.

This park had a little hiking trail, so we walked around with the ferns and huge trees.

“I want to sit up there in that big tree.”

Awww…. how cute…

This is his I-don’t-want-to-get-out-of-this-tree face.

Back to Grandad’s

We visited another of Gran and Grandad’s favorite parks where there are lots of farm animals to look at.

I think Jonah saved his biggest excitement for the tractor, though. No surprise there.

Uncle Larry came to several parks with us. :)

Trying out his supercute new Mariners hat.

If it were up to Jonah, every park would have a digger!

Back at Gran and Grandad’s, there was an inflatable pool to play in on the (few) days that it got really warm while we were there. Seattle is having an unusually hot and dry summer, the only exception being the first week we were there…

It took a while, but Jonah was eventually willing to sit down in the pool.

Later, at Aunt Marie’s in Portland, Jonah got to play a little bit in her sprinkler, or ‘shower’ as he called it.

“I want to drive away in this car with no dad.” Yes, he said that. He knows that if Dad is in the car, the driver’s seat is taken, and he loves to drive.
