Our last day in Seattle

We packed and laundried and tried to clean our messes. Then we headed to West Seattle. 

The girls found sea glass and shells. 

And we walked to the Alki Lighthouse. 

They give tours on Sundays during the summer but unfortunately I’ve never made it to one. 

I took that picture 👆🏼 by holding my phone on top of the fence and zooming big time. I took that picture sadly outside the gate. 👇🏻 

Cold Seattle beach. 

We actually saw several people swimming and Delaney was ready to join the polar bear fun. 

We saw a sign for gelato and the girls were like “first gelato of the season!”

Delaney would climb anything. 

The other last to do was this park near Mike and Cami’s. We spotted it our first day and Delaney patiently waited. 

On Monday the wait was over and she wasted no time climbing to the summit. 

And then she switched to the other play structure and climbed where she wasn’t supposed to. 🤷‍♀️

Then she convinced me to climb with her, which I did little by little. 

Eventually 5 little Rays climbed the play place. It was so fun. 

I’d climb and hang out then climb and hang out to get comfortable with the height. 

And then once everyone climbed down, I worked up my big girl courage and climbed to the top and tapped the big yellow ball. 

Also on Easter Monday Pope Francis passed away. I’ve admired this good man for many years. We all lost a wonderful world leader and man of God with this one. One of my favorite of his quotes -
