Buds

On another sunny and warm Seattle day, Owen and I met Koen and Shelley for a little walk near Lake Washington. The loop is only a mile long and with lots of ponds and mulch pits, we figured we would have lots to entice the boys onward to complete our trek. The sunshine must have filled the boys with love of nature and each other because they kept stopping to hug each other and roll around in the grass. Forty five minutes later, we were only a quarter of the way around and Owen fell into an irresistable pit of mud and gunk and other unidentifiable wet, slimy stuff. I carried my soggy boy back to the car and Shelley promised Koen a visit to the fountain in the parking lot to make up for the shortened trip. Ring, ring went my phone as Owen and I were speeding home to get him into dry clothes, "Koen fell in the fountain and is soaking wet!" Good thing for all of us it was a sunny day.
