19 months and a visit from Ya Ya and Far Far

Karina is 19 months old now. Soon we are going to have to stop counting in months :) Ya Ya and Far Far Ericson came to visit and actually had sunshine! I think they believe us now that we are surrounded by mountains :) The weather was beautiful and we had fun going to the Zoo, the Syttende Mai (aka Norwegian constitution day) Parade in Ballard and the Kubota Gardens among other things.

Karina loves the new penguin habitat at the Zoo. She also showed Ya Ya and Far Far the elephants, giraffes, gorillas and how much fun she has at the Zoomazium (an indoor playspace for kids at the Zoo).


Karina loves it when her Ya Ya and Far Far read her books.

Karina showing her love for Big Papi and the Red Sox! We went to the game on Friday night, unfortunately Ichiro had other plans for the Red Sox, but we shouldn't be surprised. The Sox never win when we are there in person.

Showing her Ballard pride at the parade on Sunday!

Entering the Kubota gardens. A beautiful public park in Seattle that has Japanese gardens.

The gardens were so beautiful. There were ponds, wooden bridges, stone bridges and gorgeous flowers and trees scattered through the 20 acre park.
