Molbaks

Who doesn't love Molbaks?  It's the perfect adventure for kids on a rainy Woodinville day.  The raccoons each can pick out a flower, we stroll the aisles looking at plants, play in the water fountains, make a stop at the kid and pet sections for some free time, and head home.  I'm all for an 8 minute car ride to fun! Last week, we met the Krekow boys: Carter & Eli, and their momma, Sarah for some Spring fun.


 Betcha can't find one prettier than this!

 Hey Mom, how 'bout a Heuchera?



Some lovely dance moves below.





 Just a little volunteer pruning.



 Miss Sarah and her sweet boys.
We love the Krekoww.  So much, we bought the house her husband basically grew up in.  To boot, she'll brave going out in public with my rugrats.

Me & my Spring chicken

Signs of Spring-at least at the nursery.



Us Momma's decided to take a wrong turn that put us directly on the pathway to the water fountains.  We both took a deep breath, shouted a few directions, and then held our breath as the (2) 3 year olds and two year old squealed with delight a they pass this sign:

"Parents: thank you for NOT allowing your children to play in the fountains"

 Not sure who the character is in the background. Can't blame him for wanting to hang with the "fun crew".



 On to the kid's garden corner and pet sectio

 Accessorize. A yellow rake that pairs nicely with my yellow pants!

 "Let's see.  How do I replant that tulip bulb I just dug up before Mom spies it?"

Seems to be well constructed"
 All that fountain water is making my tummy hurt.

"Look out.  Momma let me out!"

 Yep, we had all of them running loose at one point!  No they didn't know these were dog toys they were playing with.

 We should be leaving now.  "Sir, I'm not a Girl Scout yet so I can't say for sure that I left the place better than I found it."
 A happy customer.

After Molbaks, we headed through the car wash.  It actually does a lousy job but I thought the kids would enjoy it.  It was William's first time.
 Snacks. AKA: distraction tool

Scrub-a-dub-dub
 William...are you lovin' this?

Not so much.
