Up at 6 am to start this sunny day off right. Ate a light breakfast and headed out to pick some items at Costco. Once back home, I attached the bike rack to the car and loaded up all the bikes to head to Enatai Bach Park to start a trip on the I-90 trail heading towards the city. We road partially across I-90 bridge westerly bound. Once we got to Mercer Island the trail was detoured onto a busy road that we didn’t feel comfortable with the kids to be on. So we turned back around and headed home. On the way back I ordered pizza, so that it would be delivered home about the same time we arrived. It was perfect timing; the pizza was delivered 1 minute after we got there.

After eating, I watched Gravity Falls with the kids and took a nap with a cat on my lap. 

Before sunset, I prepped the fire pit for tonight’s fire. Tonight, we have roasted marshmallows!

Once the kids went inside to go to bed, I stayed up watching the fire go down and the stars go across the sky. I’m reading Tales of the South Pacific. A book I have been reading on and off for a few years. I just need to finish it. I enjoy reading it, but I get seduced by technical training manuals and start reading those instead. I attempted to cheat by watching Rogers & Hammerstein South Pacific, but I can’t get over the no picture (blank screen) intro (just instrumental soundtrack) and some very distracting colour filters they used. It pulls me away from the story and I can’t stop thinking if it is a sinking issue or tv problem. I just lose focus away from the movie and try to figure out the meaning of the colour changes in the scene. What does it mean? I just can’t finish watching it and I love watching Rogers & Hammerstein movies. The Sound of Music is on my Top 10 list of favourite movies.

Progress Report: Since I have made the decision to take a picture of the day, I have been getting outside more as intended. I will be pushing myself to take more pictures like I used to. I do go out on hikes and camping trips, I just stopped taking a picture or two of the trips. Since the days are getting warmer and have a minivan, I will be taking more trips.
