Today we're doing a park-hop. "What is a park-hop?" you may be asking. Well, in between our daily activities we will be stopping in at a few of Bellevue's fine parks. There are a lot of them.
Here's a link to all of the parks in Bellevue:

We'll be prepared for anything - so packed in the back of Vinnie, our trusty mini-van, we'll have sandals, sneakers, beach towels and swim suits, beach toys, sunscreen, blankets, bikes, tennis rackets, fleece jackets, raincoats, and plenty of water and snacks. That way we are ready for whatever the park has to offer.
Our plan is to stay at least 30 minutes at each park and then move on. Who knows how many parks we'll hit in between diving lessons and piano lessons and a few chores at home?! It's going to be great. In the process we will be answering some questions about the parks - sortof our own little park review. The boys will rate the parks and rank them in order. We'll have to post our results after we're finished. So far all of our outings have gotten a 2-thumbs up rating from the boys, so I'm not sure how well they'll be at ranking the parks. Guess we'll see how it goes!
If you want to join us or meet up at any time, let us know - the more, the merrier!
Start time: 9:00am
Finish time: 7:00pm (with hour breaks starting at noon and 1:45 for our lessons!)
We're hiking this afternoon - somewhere near North Bend. The original plan was to hike Little Si because of the great view, but with the weather the way it is (rainy) we will likely do another trail that includes waterfalls. There are a few options, including a few hikes that are new to us. If you want to join us, just send me a text or email and I'll let you know where we are. We won't leave Bellevue until after diving lessons - so around 1:00pm.
