WA Vacation Days 7 and 8 -- Dentist and Farmer's Market

Thursday we all three had dental appointments. Eric’s cousin Kacia did mine and Eric’s cleanings and then of course Rose saw us afterwards. We got the best cleaning from Kacia, as always, and felt squeaky clean! Rose gave us the good news that neither of us had any cavities. WOO HOO!!! After we were done, Jarem got his first ever dental check with his grandma. It was pretty quick but he did well, no crying. She even did a quick fluoride treatment to help prevent cavities. We really need to get better about brushing his teeth though. Oops…

Getting ready for his first ever dentist visit with Grandma Rose.

He made it through without crying! :)Wow, the plastic on this chair is amazing!Playing with his new toy he got to pick out of the kid chest for being such a good boy.

That evening I went to my first ever Yoga class. It was an all level drop-in class but since it was so beautiful out, only three other people showed up. All three of them were pretty advanced so I was in over my head. But I kept up pretty well and got a great stretch in most positions! I was pretty impressed with myself to be honest. It was very fun to try and although I think it would be good for me, I can’t see us affording Yoga on top of everything else. Let alone finding the time for me to go regularly. While I was at Yoga, Eric and Jarem went and met Eric’s dad again for dinner. His dad made homemade ribs and Eric said it was super yummy! After Jarem went down for bed we snuck out one more time on the segways. We rode across town to Baskin Robbins and got ice cream. When we got back to the house it was time for So You Think You Can Dance again. Perfect end to a fun day…

Friday we spent the morning packing and getting ready for Eric’s big ride! We loaded up Gary’s truck with all our stuff and were ready to hit the road. Before leaving town Eric, Jarem and I walked down to the Olympia Farmer’s Market. My first ever visit to Olympia we walked down there and it has always been a good memory for us. We took Jarem in the stroller and took in all the beautiful sights. The vegetables and flowers there are amazing! (Oh yeah, and the nasty seafood. Haha) We took some pictures and then ate some lunch while listening to a band play. We walked across the parking lot to the waterfront in Olympia and took some more pictures over there.

Then Rose and Gary came and picked us up and we all headed to Seattle. Our first stop was the two story REI for them all to pick up their registration packets.
