Photo Friday: Carkeek Park
Darya's birthday was this week, and somehow between bringing cupcakes into school and picking her up early, I managed to spend almost the entire day with her. For the middle child in a house with three little kids, that's a huge treat!
After a "tea party" at a kid-friendly coffee shop (this is Seattle, coffee culture starts early), I took her to Carkeek Park, which has one of the loveliest playgrounds in Seattle. Just look at that view!
And check out the salmon slide
Carkeek park is about eight miles north of Space Needle, and you need a car to get here, but can you imagine a better memory of Seattle with Kids than a slide shaped like a salmon?

You just added another reason to my list for visiting Seattle - I've really got to get my family out there.

That is another way to add to birthday celebration. I will be my daughter 6th birthday next week and I am actually planning to celebrate it in a simple way. Like eating out with family and some friends. Maybe we can also go some place after eating where she can play till her heart contents.
