We had a really warm summer in 1998.  Take some kids, and put out some pools and it's a great time for all!

In August 98, we had the greatest tour of the Kirkland Fire Dept.   We got to learn how to dial 911, how to stop, drop and roll and how to plan an escape route from our homes in case of emergency.  We got to see where the fire men worked, where they relaxed, and best of all, we got to see all the trucks.  After our tour, the fire men gave us a demo of their talents as they zoomed around the building in their firetruck with lights and sirens blaring.  They jumped out of the truck, and extended the ladder to the sky and climbed to the top!  We also got to see a car they used to practice the jaws of life on!  It was great.  If you have the chance to take your kids on a tour, be sure to go to the Kirkland Fire Department.

We had a chance to visit the Butterfly house at the Pacific Science Center in December.  There were thousands of butterflys and the weather was a humid 80 something inside.    The kids loved it.

Winter time requires us nannies to be creative and create fun indoor projects for the kids.   Here, Spencer and Cody are decorating trees using sugar cones, green frosting, m&m's, coconut and sprinkles.  With a little imagination, the kids had a lot of fun at this art day, and it sure made a tasty treat.

Art days are created for all ages and developmental stages.  Megan, who is 4, was able to take a little more time on hers and place all the pieces in just the right places.

Art days also provide a wonderful opportunity for the children to socialize and play.  This developes strong communication skills and encourages sharing for all ages.

Art days/Playgroups are stimulating for all ages.  Even Amanda had a lot of excitement, and decided to just roll over and take a nap.
