Sunday Playdate at Soren's House

Ryden disappeared as soon as we got there. He was super happy to hang out with Soren. I'm not sure who's idea it was, but it was very cute when I came around the corner into their backyard to find the two of them more than half buried in the sandbox!

Seattle Gymnastics class with John

There was only one other child in Ryden's class so Ryden got a lot of attention. He really enjoys gymnastics.

 

 

Afternoon at Golden Gardens

So I want to preface the below photos with an explanation that Ryden and I had a conversation about this little experiment with the magnifying glass. He knows that fire is very dangerous and this should only be done in a safe environment and under the supervision of an adult. Did he make fire? Yes he did! With the help of some wood shavings and moss. Very exciting. We ended the day at Coney Island restaurant for fish and chips and a cheeseburger! yum.

Making fire.

Roasting marshmallows

My MINI made a friend!

Cooking with Ryden

Ryden has set up his own work area in the kitchen and has been busy concocting all sorts of dishes! Here he is working on a breakfast shake.

 

Ryden describes his ingredients;

Ryden's tool bench and projects

Ryden has been very busy making boats, rafts, bath tub warmer, ocean warmers. "Key carrier attached to heater system explanation. The other one are cargo carriers for fishing. The other one has an anchor, makes the boat so it doesn't move around. The gold one is to carry gold around and is attached to the heater system too."
Hopefully this little movie explanation works for everyone.

Another cold swim at Pop Mounger Pool

We played at the park next door and at the soccor field for a few hours before the pool opened for evening swimming at 6:30. We ran into Clara Lansor at the pool. They were so excited to see each other, they gave each other big hugs.
