Sam’s first summer in Seattle has been a weird one. For a little while we thought that we wouldn’t be getting one. Then it came and got hot, then it was cool, then it was hot again. Now it’s chilly again.

This morning Sam went on his weekly Stroller Strides outing with his mother to Alki Beach. To make sure he was comfortable while she worked up a sweat, Sam got to break in the hat his grandparents bought him when he came home, oh so many months ago. Looks pretty stylish, doesn’t he?
