Blake enjoys a Shakespeare play in the park: Twelfth Night. Mom, Dad, and Laura enjoy delicious burritos: Chipotle. Everyone’s happy.
If not exactly high culture, at least it’s culture on a very steep incline.
Our little angel watches the Blue Angels over Lake Washington. Maybe next year he’ll get to see the Hells Angels instead. Or maybe not.
Blake heads to Biringer Farm to find some fresh raspberries. Since he can’t eat them yet, he insists that we freeze his berries until next year. Happily, he fails to pick a single berry, so this will be an easy promise to keep.
Even though Blake has not been introduced to store-bought milk yet, that didn’t stop him from enjoying the event known by the Dairy Farmers of Washington as the Milk Carton Derby that takes place annually here in Seattle.
For the uninitiated, this is a fun part of Sea Fair that takes place at Green Lake. Participants build and race flotilla of all sorts with the primary requisite being that they use milk cartons and jugs for buoyancy.
There is also a pirate theme to some of the Sea Fair events, so we made sure that Blake picked up an eye-patch and foam sword along the way.
If there’s one thing Blake loves, it’s milk. And if there’s one other thing, it’s maritime disaster. Which makes the annual Seafair Milk Carton Derby a real crowd pleaser.
Best of all: ducklings. Now Blake can finally answer his life’s most important question.
