Summer visit to Washington

We had a lovely summer visit to the Pacific Northwest.

It is a long flight from Cleveland to Seattle, but we are fortunate that there is a non-stop to take us there directly.



It's exciting to see the water.



Grandma made several costumes for the lad.  Here is Doctor Sam.



Buzz Lightyear: To infinity... and beyond!




And the good knight, Sir Sam. Like all good knights, he wears jammies under his armor.



We got out in the kayaks- such a peaceful way to travel on the water!



We had a day adventure to Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.  We took the long route via ferry to Vashon Island, then another ferry to Point Defiance.  Boys love boats.  The touch pool at the aquarium was fascinating.



Fun in the pedal go kart on the driveway.




Picking apples with the help of Grandpa's tractor.


Hard work deserves a treat.



Bill and Kim had some grown-up time in Seattle.  One fun adventure was learning how to blow glass.



A day trip to Mount Rainier National Park, where Kim and Bill enjoyed the glorious weather with a hike among the meadows.



Beautiful scenery.  Pretty nice mountains and flowers too.




Kim and Sam visit with Kim's friend Sara and her two boys on Whidbey Island.



Learning from the expert how to perfectly roast marshmallows.



 What a fun time we had!
