Lake Stevens is pretty far away from Seattle (our favorite place to hang), but lately we have been realizing some of the nice perks. We of course live by a lake, although you can't really walk/run around it because there is no direct path, at least there are a few parks around it. There is one within walking distance, one with a little sand beach and one with a boat launch. Along with the park the rest of down town Lake Stevens offers a convenient though highly expensive market, a gas station, mini library, post office, police station and even a little museum. There a actually quite a few other things but to get to my point...this Friday we all went (minus Sam) to the fancy restaurant in town. Its a little Greek restaurant that has a deck. It was such a nice evening that Nick suggested an al fresco dinner. How could I resist? One hour and some wine, beer, ravioli and spaghetti with marinara later we were one happy family full with food and our annual dose of Vitamin D. Deven tried lots of new foods which included olives. He has apparently taken after his Great Grandpa Nelson and just loves them, which good because nick and I do not and so they won't go to waste anymore! Here is Deven celebrating new food groups and showing LS how Friday evening dinners are done.
