On Friday, Mason and I met one of his buddies at Kids Quest Museum in Factoria. He was a bit nervous to venture far from me at first but once he got comfortable he was gone! They had an alligator walker that he kept eyeing and once he realized I wasn't going to leave him, he took off for it and pushed that sucker everywhere! He just kept laughing and laughing. It melted my heart! I hope Steve can come with us sometime, but I know the weekends are probably more crowded so I may see if he can take a day to just hang with us. The Museum is divided into different sections, like "garage," "backyard," "treehouse," and then a water area. We mostly stayed in the backyard since it was geared more for his age but I can't wait to go back and see what else he enjoys there.
Then on Saturday, Steve, Mason and I, went to Snoqualmie for Railroad days. The main reason I wanted to go was to watch Mason watch the parade. He LOVES to people watch and I knew the parade would be a hit! I was right, he loved seeing the horses, waving at the people, watching the cars, but NOT the horn on the Mack truck. They blew it right in front of us and it scared Mase to death. Luckily, it was at the end of the parade so we just went ahead and left that part. We also got to hear kids bands, eat fair food, and ride on the speed car (which is this little yellow train that just goes up and back about a block.) We wanted to ride the train, but it was a 70 minute ride round trip. With a 13 month old, no thank you. After that we walked around some more until we could tell Mase had had enough. We literally put him in the car and he fell asleep. It was a great day to spend as a family and it made me very thankful we have a little fella to share these little moments with. I know so many people who struggle with infertility and I didn't, so I don't know how it feels, but I know what they are longing for and I pray that one day, their prayers are answered.

The fire department gave Mason a fire helmet and a junior fire chief sticker, which he wore proudly!

I keep hoping it won't happen, as much as I love fall, I don't like the rain and gray and being kept indoors so we will enjoy these last summer moments as much as we can!
