My parents have been on a boating trip the past few weeks and have docked at the marina here in Bellingham a few times. It has been so fun to visit them on their boat and be able to see them so much! I've also had fun taking pictures around the marina in the beautiful weather we have been having.
Captain Belle and First Mate Baby
Need a barnacle or two? Or three hundred?
The goat kept looking at me like this. I really wonder what he was thinking. 
And sometimes I wonder what Belle is thinking. Haha! At least it makes for some good photo opportunities!
And other times I know exactly what Trev is thinking. "I am a man wielding a knife! I cut my food right from the earth and down it whole!" Okay, so he didn't eat it whole, but he did enjoy cutting the zucchini and then we added it to a delicious salad for dinner. ;) 
One of Belle's favorite things about being at their farm was this toy car. She probably spent a few hours over the course of the weekend driving this car around the carport. She would take her baby for rides and just drive, drive, drive!
Here are some pictures from around their place...
Thanks to my wonderful hubby and all my parents I got a new camera for my birthday! A Pentax SLR camera which I have been playing around with and learning about the past few weeks. On my birthday we did some drive-by shootings, of the picture taking variety. ;) I wasn't feeling that well so it was nice to be in the car most of the time. Here are some of the shots I got on our adventure...
These seagulls were chasing the eagle around. Maybe he stole the fish they were about to eat.
Then we drove by someone's house where there was just a deer hanging out in the yard and eating their flowers.
Trev & I recently heard about a new park in Whatcom County called Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve. You walk through the woods for about 3/4 of a mile and then head down to a very rocky beach. We played on the beach for a bit where we threw rocks in the water, waded just a little into the water and played baseball with rocks and wood we found on the beach. 
Daddy & daughter tromping along the rocks
Belle & I went to Old Navy recently and while we were there I found her holding the mannequin's hand. I was cracking up! Who needs to walk around with mama when you can hold onto a mannequin's hand?
So this is the first belly shot I've posted. It's not because I haven't wanted to post one, I just don't think to take one. And you don't even see my face in this one! But who needs to see my face. I know what you're really interested in is seeing the belly. ;) So here it is at 30 weeks along. As of today I am 32 weeks and 2 days along but I don't have a picture from today. Less than 8 weeks to go until Baby Boy Mauss makes his arrival! Crazy! Now all we need to do is come up with a name. Hmmm. So many options.
A few weeks ago we had some amazing weather, especially for mid-June in northwest Washington. We went to the lake a few times and I was reminded how much Annabelle loves the water. I think she could play for hours! 
She was working really hard at transferring water from the lake to her bucket to the beach and then would do it all over again.
Oh, how cute. :)

AB & G'pa looking over the bridge together
AB & Daddy on the ginormous Radio Flyer wagon... there is a slide at one end, which Belle went down a few times with dad but it was super hot so she didn't want to go by herself. I really wonder who it is that decides to have metal/aluminum slidesin parks. I mean, the sun hits it and it gets HOT! I'm a big fan of the plasctic slides, as is Belle.
At Riverfront Park they have this metal goat that eats garbage. No joke. We had brought some pieces of bread to feed the ducks but decided not to since there were signs posted all over the park saying not to feed the ducks. Haha! So we fed the bread to the metal goat instead! You just press a button and it sucks up garbage through its mouth. It was kind of loud so I thought Belle might be a bit scared of it but she loved it! She couldn't get enough of feeding it! She would even stick her hand and part of her arm up into its mouth. It was pretty entertaining to watch.

Annabelle & their new cat Shelby. Shelby was quite the trooper with Belle around. AB was always interested in where Shelby was and what she was doing. Belle was trying to share her little piggy with Shelby here.
