I’m finally getting around to sharing some pictures of the Cinco de Mayo party we went to. Our good friends were co hosting it with another couple. The party was a little more interesting due to the fact that the power went out in the building where we were all gathering. So we had to navigate completely dark stairways to get the the apartment. Luckily it was sunny out so our party wasn’t in the dark.

After food and some trivia we headed to the courtyard outside where the pinata was destroyed and where we could enjoy the warmth. Near the end of the party a few of us played pin the tail on the donkey and had a few good laughs. I think Walker was cheating a little bit with his leg us like that. Oh well, it was a good afternoon.

 

The farmers market is back!

There are a lot of year round farmers markets in Seattle but the one that is really close to our place is closed through winter and it just opened the other weekend! Yeah! We visited last weekend and stocked up on vegetables and such but I was most excited about this here stickle-pickle on a stick. I ate it happily all the while dripping pickle juice wherever I went. I’m excited for warmer weather, the farmer’s market every weekend, and of course more PICKLES!
