Paddle boarding, the Seattle Mariners, Hiking, Biking, and Reading

It's officially summertime in the PNW. Our family has been enjoying the outdoor activities the Seattle area has to offer. We took our boys paddle boarding, and we took Neil to his first Mariners game. We go on easy local hikes, we bike around our neighborhood, and we read books at the library park a couple homes up on our street.  Paddle Boarding at Beaver Lake Seattle Mariners Baseball Game Hiking as a family Biking around the community and stopping at nearby parks Reading books at the neighborhood library park Love, -Mr. D and Mrs. M
