Mommy and Derick Date

It's been ages since Derick and I have had much time together without Darla or Daddy. Lucky for us, Ms Haleigh was having a birthday party this weekend and it was the perfect moment for a Derick and Mommy date. We said goodbye to Daddy and Darla in the morning and headed to Seattle to catch the ferry to Bremerton. We were walk-ons so we left the green goblin on Alaskan way for the day. I forgot that Derick's legs are not quite as long as mine; we had to run to make the ferry! Once aboard it was question time....and I loved it. What's this, Mommy? What's he doing, Mommy? Let's go here, Mommy. We had snacks and explored the boat. Once in Bremerton, we joined up with Haleigh and family for some bowling fun. It was Derick's first time playing.

I did my best to teach him how to play....let's just say it was a good thing they had bumpers!

Derick lasted about 4 frames before asking to go play video games. I guess it'll be a few years before he finds the game as fun as I do. We had a snack and waited for the adults and big kids to finish their games.

Happy Birthday, Haleigh!!

After cake and ice cream it was time for us to make our way back home.

The return trip was nice, more exploring for both of us. We had some really beautiful views from the deck of the ferry. The walk back to the car felt long...by this time both of us were getting tired. We made it back home in time for dinner with J2D2. It was a fun day for both of us, and I can't wait for my next Derick date!
