Little Xander wanted to play with Saya and kept advancing towards her.
Sean and Parker had great time eating together.
It was a perfect weather for a picnic.
Saya wasn't sure about walking on grass at first.
Xander was having fun scooting on the picnic mat.
The kids had a super fun time at the block party.

Aly wanted to sit there, too.We had another busy weekend filled with activities.
On Saturday, we went to a water front park near downtown Bellevue to have a picnic with Jen, Kevin and the kids. It was a beautiful day and perfect picnic weather. There were only few people at the park and it was as if we owned the beach. The boys had lots of fun digging in the sand, dipping their feet in the water and playing on the slide. Aly was following them around and had a great time, too. Little Saya wasn't sure about walking on the uneven surface at the park at first, but she warmed up to it and wandered around everywhere. Noah really wanted to dive right in to the water and was pretty upset when we stopped him. Pretty much everyone was covered in sand by the end of the outing and they all got a good wash when we got home. It's so nice to relax at a beautiful park with good friends and we all had a very good time.
On that evening, Amy watched the kids so that Mike and I could go out. We went back to our favorite Japanese restaurant in the city, Maneki. This time, we made sure that we didn't order too much and did a pretty good job. We befriended the sushi chef Jun, a young Japanese guy who claims he's an accidental sushi chef. I guess he started working at the restaurant doing something else and one thing led to another and he's a sushi chef now. There are all walks of life. The food was really good as always and looking forward to the next time!
We were going to go to the Japan fall festival which was held at the community college near by today, but we had no time to go. I was looking forward to taking the kids there this year. Oh well. We'll make sure we'll make it next year! We did manage to go to the neighborhood block party in the afternoon though and it was a lot of fun. We met many neighbors from the big houses and the kids were running around in the big cul de sac and they even go to visit with real police officers and ride the flashing police car! Sean told us that he wants to be a police officer for Halloween this year. I've never seen inside the police car before, so it was very interesting. Did you know that the back seat is made of hard plastic and they are not very comfy? Saya even sat on the driver's seat and was being very curious. Jen gave us a lot of left over food and I won't be cooking for a little while!
So, we had a pretty good weekend. Don't feel like we got much rest, so I am hoping to rest more on the coming weekend.
