The Moose is Loose in Ballard

Livvie's friend Deborah from Seattle Rep gave her this little stuffed moose when we stopped by to pick up my paycheck this week. We decided the moose needed to get to know his new home, so we took him on a photo safari.



The beginning of our journey, hanging out on the steps outside our apartment.



Liv and the moose have a heart-to-heart outisde the library.



William Tell and his apple got nothin' on us.



Peakin' around the art (we stop and say hi to this art whenever we go to the bank).



Checking out the marquee at the Majestic Bay. The moose thinks Will Farrell is a hack.



Ballard's Scandinavian heritage celebrated at Bergen Place (there are three drunks asleep behind those bushes as we take the picture).



Liv checks out the giant archway at the entrance of Marvin's Garden.



Livvie and the moose decided they don't like the spray from the husky fountains (as Liv has dubbed them).



And the cool kids hang out at the skate bowl, looking cool.

It's All Fun & Games Until...

...you get water up your nose. We've got Liv in parent-tot swimming lessons right now. I have historically taken her, but after one session with Daddy, she was no longer interested in swimming with Mama. Well, that is until she got water up her nose. Now she says this week she'll sit up in the bleachers with me and hold the bags.
