Not many school districts get to enjoy a "mid-winter" break, but due to the vocal number of skiers in the Seattle area, the SPS have long ago instituted a week off in February. Go democracy.
Not being snow inclined, we took advantage of the break in the rain and headed south to the Kobuta Gardens. This inspired 20 acre park was originally the home of a Japanese gardening pioneer. Wonder why Seattle has so many Japanese gardeners or so many Japanese gardens? Much of it is due to Mr. Kobuta. This beautiful oasis is now a public park full of ponds, gravel paths and a rocky hill that provides a great view. We spent the morning wandering, finding hidden corners, drifting apart and then coming back together....it was pretty perfect.
Can't keep this spicy mouse down. She is full of life and joy and personality.
I had wanted a cute "mom" picture...you know the kind where everyone is standing close and looking like they are getting along?! Well, my "mushy" adverse son was reluctant to give the impression that he was too fond of his sister, despite the fact that he is very much her fan. So Nina did all the loving and was completely undeterred in her adoration of her big brother.
