Greetings from Marymoor Park

Lovely day in gorgeous weather in the Seattle area, due to change dramatically overnight since we're supposed to wake up to snow and winter mix! We walked Pepper and Katherine's friend's corgi Charlie, for whom she and Adam are pet-sitting, through the neighborhood and around Grass Lawn Park, then we had breakfast and went to a neighborhood called Archstone which is right on Lake Sammamish to look around. From the dock, we could see many species of waterfowl and kayakers, and the daffodils were just starting to bloom. We visited nearby Idylwood Park, which has a little beach on the lake, before picking up Blazing Bagels for lunch. 

We all met Daniel at Marymoor park with one of Cahaya's huskies (the other doesn't always listen when she's not around, and she is in Chicago until tomorrow on business) and saw lots of wildlife there too, including dozens of nesting herons and a flock of coots. The dogs got pretty muddy, so Katherine gave Charlie a bath and wound up too tired to come to dinner near Daniel's house downtown, so we and the boys went to Ocean Thai in Green Lake for fabulous curry and noodle dishes, then went back to visit with Thandi and Theo before heading back to Adam's house. Plans for Sunday may include the aquarium but will depend on the weather!
