Top Pot Doughnuts, Redmond's Farmer's Market, Tolt Pipeline Walk, and Birthday Dinner

Today was another busy day, but it was a good day!  We started out by hitting Top Pot Doughnuts in Bellevue, WA.  The last time David and Nayon were here, we took them to Top Pot -- and it was so good, it was their ONLY request when they came this time.  For whatever reason, we picked a good morning because it wasn't very busy at all.  We gorged on our doughnuts and coffee and had a very delightful breakfast.  Max was super happy because David gave him a small piece of a doughnut to gnaw on with his two teeth.  Max was in heaven.  In case you ever go there, Kristina highly recommends the Apple Fritter and the twist.  :)

After we finished up at Top Pot, we head to the farmer's market in Redmond to walk off all of the sugar. The farmer's market in Redmond is the oldest market on the eastside, and it is always a treat.  We strolled around looking at fresh produce, tons of flowers, arts and crafts, and tons of other things too.  It is a nice way to spend a nice Saturday morning.  Nayon seemed to really enjoy the farmer's market.  David bought an apple and thought it was the best apple he has ever had.

The next place on our list was Bill the Butcher in Redmond.  We were having Kristina's birthday dinner, and if we are celebrating Kristina's birthday, she wants STEAK -- and good steak.  So we stopped at our favorite butcher and picked up the goods.

After we headed back to the house, we enjoyed a movie or two and just lounged around the house.  Kiddos took naps, so did adults -- it was just a good afternoon.  Kristina worked on macaroni and cheese for dinner while everyone else milled about the family room.  However, David, Jared, Addie, and Indy decided to go on a walk.  At that time, Kristina decided to take a short nap and catch up on cooking shows with Nayon. Kristina and Nayon had a very restful time (Max was napping) -- here's what was going on during the walk.

Addie wanted to "walk" Indy -- little does she know, Indy walks everyone and the leash is just a formality.

Indy and Addie burning lots of energy.


And here's the birthday dinner.  You see we had steaks, asparagus, and fancy macaroni and cheese!  It was divine!


And here are two new friends...they are a pretty cute twosome!
