MONSTER TRUCKS

Keith took Mason to the Speedway last night to see the monster trucks. Judging by his level of excitement when they returned home, and by the fact that he's been playing monster truck all day, I would say that he had a ton of fun.

Forks Trip

We drove out to Forks yesterday just because. There isn't much to do in Forks unless you are a Twilight fan, and we haven't read the books or watched the movie. So, we visited the Forks Timber Museum. Like I said...there isn't much to do...

Ride the Ducks

We decided to be tourists in Seattle for a day and took my parents on a Ride the Duck tour of the town. My mom hates the water, so she was very brave for going on the water portion of this tour. Later on we met my friend Holly for lunch at Ivars. Thanks guys it was fun!!

Food!

Brenna's food switch has just been turned on. She loves just about everything, and really enjoys raspberries.

Northwest Trek

The kids loved the tram ride and we got to see just about everthing. Mason loved the cougar the most. He wants Santa to bring him a baby cougar for Christmas.

Big Girl!

She has been crawling all over and pulling herself up on everything! She's growing too fast!

Ice Cream Lover

Lake Crescent

The cold lake water was not enough to keep the kids away!

We're Back!!

It seems like forever since we have posted. We have been on a road trip from June 17 through July 9, that took us from Port Angeles to Yellowstone, to Mt. Rushmore, to Wisconsin and back. We put 6,000 miles on Ali (our SUV) and watched Babe many times on the DVD player. We had tons of fun visiting with family! Thanks Craig & Shelley for letting us stay with you!! The kids had a blast playing with cousins and seeing new places.

We miss all the WI family, but are extremely happy to be back home in WA. Mason even ran around pointing out all of his things..."My sandbox. My toys. My room. My outside!"

See the posts below for vacation pictures.

Mt Rushmore

Visiting Rushmore was by far my favorite thing we did on this trip. We went on a Ranger walk and learned the whole history of the monument. Mason ran around calling everyone George and Brenna actually stayed awake during the whole time we were there,

When we left it was raining, and Mason said "Daddy go back. George Washton is crying." So cute!
