Sunny Day

Yesterday was one of the first sunny days in the Seattle area since the beginning of this year.  It was finally in the 70s - even close to 80 at 78 degrees!  It was beautiful and something that my husband and I have both been craving because we miss the sunshine.  As I've mentioned before - we're originally from sunny Southern California and we're still not used to all of the gloomy weather that the Pacific Northwest gives us. 

So, to enjoy the sunny weather, we went to the park as a family for the first time since Maddy was born five and a half weeks ago.  We got her all dressed up in a cute dress and we were off.  But, as we left the house, we realized that we needed to have something to cover Maddy's bald little head.  The only hats that we had were the warm beanies, and that wasn't going to work since it was so warm, so we visited the local Target before heading to the park and bought her a little sun hat.  After making our purchase, we were off to Lake Sammamish Park - just about 15 minutes away from our house.

The Pacific Northwest is known for gloomy weather, so when there is a day full of sun, everyone is outside.  And, Lake Sammamish Park was packed!  But, we still enjoyed the sunshine and breeze, watch boaters in their boats, parasailers having fun over the water, dogs and their owners running around and kids playing tag.  It was a beautiful sunny day and we just don't get enough of them here in the Seattle area!

Here are some pictures from our day at the park:

Maddy's hat was a little big - we couldn't find a newborn hat, so we got what we could find.  We made the hat work

She got tired of the hat, so I did my best to shade her little, bald head

 It was a great day at the park and we enjoyed it.  Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for the next sunny day!
