Bill and five-and-one-quarter year old Alex (that’s the way she describes her age) helped open S. Lake Union Park in Seattle today, Saturday, September 25th. We drove down to the neighborhood, then took the South Lake Union Streetcar to the Park. This was Alex’s first ride on the streetcar (she loves trains and Thomas the Train). At the Park we kayaked for the first on S. Lake Union, Alex got her face painted and potted a red current bush plant which be brought home to be added to the craziness of plantings on our little lot. We got ice cream cones and the beautiful new park, then took the streetcar back to our car and came home. One photo of us kayaking is below but more photos are on our Picasa photo site here.
