We had an awesome time at the Mariners game last weekend with Franklin and eight of his friends from daycare.

Took a lot of planning, but I'm so glad it all worked out!
We even got to see a strange and rare triple play. And the Mariners won with a walk-off home run in the tenth inning by Franklin (!) Gutiérrez.

Speaking of highlights, this summer has been so full I just can't keep up on the blog... but here are some places to look for more photos:

Yesterday, we extended our outside fun to include a hike to Barclay Lake. About four miles round trip, and Franklin must have hiked nearly half of it. Few things make me happier than watching him walk eagerly down a trail :)
Found a pretty nice lunch spot at the lake too:
Hey, not to get too distracted, but do you like having a planet with stuff like this? Are you worried that all the money spent on fossil fuels might not be such a great investment? Me too! I didn't have a lot to do with the letter they're asking about, but I was happy to be interviewed on the subject for the Seattle U student paper: take a look, and let me know what you think.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, right—lunch by the lake!
Yum!
Okay, we're off down the trail...
Until next time, reader.
So much fun with so many sports with Franklin. He's pretty committed to seasons lately, and spring is for soccer and baseball:
He also told me that he wants to go to Wrigley Field and see a Cubs baseball game. So... Grandpa Ray? Aunt Merrica?
Speaking of spring (the title of this post is one of his inexplicable but hilarious recent sayings), some delicious spring dining:
