Golden Gardens Park

Brandt and I hit the Phinney Neighborhood Preschool Coop's spring kids sale right at 9am. It was huge and awesome! We got 22 items for $68, including a Sophie the Giraffe. A week ago we went all the way to Tottini downtown and they were sold out of Sophies. Grr. Our new Sophie's label said "gently used" but she looks brand new. Brandt's been putting stuff in his mouth again with this last set of molars coming in so I figure Brandt can chew on the Sophie now and the new little guy can chew on it when he starts teething.

I felt pretty shopped out, but couldn't resist hitting a different sale at North Seattle Community College since it was put on by 40 different coops. But it was tiny! And by the time we got there it was pretty picked over. We got one measly shirt for $1.

After a nap we got Dan to stop working and drove to Ray's Cafe in Ballard to enjoy the gorgeous view. Then we headed a bit more north and played in Golden Gardens Park while the sun set. Brandt kept warm wearing a hat we got this morning. It looks good, but obstructs his vision a bit. It didn't hamper his rock collecting and throwing, fortunately.
