Searching for Hemp...liners

We decided to take a trip down to Olympia this last weekend, mainly to look at some hemp liners for our Fuzi Bunz diapers. (I LOVE this store, Simple Cloth in Olympia! The owner is the sales person and she is an endless well of knowledge on cloth diapering, I just love talking to her about it the two times we have visited this store in the past year.)

So, we got to Olympia about three hours before the store opened. So we decided to walk around a bit, we ended up walking another six miles this day. We found a really nice park with a lake that had a path around it, as it went past the Capital building. Such a nice way to waste some time. It helped that the weather was so beautiful too!


We didn't bring the big stroller with us, since it takes up the whole of our trunk. But, it was hard for Dave to push it for long since it's so much shorter than our big stroller. So, Dave and I switched places on the kid front. I missed having Lulu right there on my chest though, it was also kind of nice to have a break. And, as you can see she's enjoying her ride!

Millikins got crayons and had the chance to draw on her menu at the lunch spot. This is her depictions of our family. Daddy is the bottom big circle, then Mommy, than Millikins herself, and little Lulu on the top right. She was drawing in the eyes and mouths with all the dots. By the time the photo was taken it's not quite as clear, but still cute non-the-less.

When we got home we decided to christen the turtle swimming pool. Ok, so these are sold as sand boxes; but they make the best pools. Kids can not collapse the sides when they sit on them. There is a cover so you can leave the water in it to keep warm without the water getting dirty. It's an all around great set up; and I got it for $7 at a garage sale. Sweet!
