Klein Lang kiddos!: Outdoor adventures

We've been enjoying the amazing Seattle summer with the gorgeous weather and so many great things to do around here these last few weeks (when I'm not working that is!)

I took the kids up to Greenlake a couple weeks ago for Moriah to practice on her scooter. We took a little rest/ snack break while we waited for Rob to come pick us up and have dinner.

Max started taking little bites of his animal cracker (without me having to break it into little pieces!). This may seem like no big deal, but it's a milestone and a huge help when you're feeding & chasing and wrangling more than 1. Way to go Max!!

Moriah likes to pose...

Happy to see daddy!

Last weekend we explores Lincoln Park in West Seattle. This is a view across Puget Sound and that's Vashon Island across the sound.

This driftwood looked to us like an alligator/mermaid.

Moriah wanted to pose by it :)

Shoulder ride with daddy! I love this pic of the two of them.

Look what we found...

Earlier this week, we went to an outdoor concert at the Woodland Park Zoo to see the Indigo Girls! So fun!! (This was my Mother's Day present)

In usual Moriah style, she became BFFs with the little boy sitting next to us.

I got an ice cream. Max wanted it for his own. He did not want to taste it - he had to HAVE it. An epic battle ensued. Max won. He let me have a lick.

He required a lot of entertaining to keep him from crawling away to flirt with the people around us!

We all had a great time!

Until we didn't. Moriah hit a wall of exhaustion and refused to have her picture taken.

This afternoon we drove down to the south sound to the Nisqually wildlife refuge watershed to get some fresh air and see some birds. Rob loves the birds & wetlands!

In our usual arrangement (Max in the carrier)

He got kvetchy, so I moved him to my back. All was right with the world again.

Moriah taking it all in with her binoculars!

Rob in his element.

Moriah has insisted on hanging on these purple shorts even though they're too small. While riding on Rob's shoulders, she started to resemble a plumber. I told her her tushie was showing and that I think this would be her shorts' last outing and that we would need to find her some new purple shorts. Her response "stop saying those horrible things!" Ha! She's not dramatic at all :)
