River, Aunt Beth, and Jake. We went to the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, and Pike Place Market. The Zoo was fun but all were very tired. The Aquarium was enjoyable and the Market is always nuts. Good Times were had.



Not a fabulous picture of me but ... oh well.

Seattle Aquarium was fun. The pictures didn't turn out that great but Ryan thought it was a good time.

Now this is the view I have.






This is the view I used to live with daily.





That popsicle was yummy. It's everywhere. :)







Cousin River and Ryan went at Alki Beach. It was a gorgous day. Finally Summer has arrived.

Fresh strawberry pie made by 12 yr old River!




Cousin River has come back to Washington to stay for a week. She has been keeping us busy. In 2 days we have gone to the market place twice, went to the super mall, watched two movies, whipped up a pie, and had the "kids" over to play with. I may need a vacation from my vacation. It is going by to quickly and I'm exhausted.

Ryan in Billings Logan Int Arpt. Finally preparing to come home. Ryan told us he wanted to go home and sleep in his own bed. It was a fun visit but we are all glad to be home.



Ryan and Jessica played with snap its on the 4th of July. We all had a great time. Grandma Lois and Papa had a BBQ. Ryan told us that Uncle Ron is a Big Kid. River, Andy, Randy, and Uncle Ron let off a lot of fire works. Injuries were at a minimum. Uncle Ron and Jessica left me to die but other than that everything was great. :)

Ryan had birthday II at Grandma and Papas house since they couldn't make it over in June. Aunt Beth and Cousin River made the cake.






While on vacation in Montana we did a lot of fun things. We had a ton of fun at the water park. Ryan had a blast. He played with Cousin River and Jake. Aunt Beth is the best for getting us tickets. We can't wait to do it all again next year.






Andrew had a good time. What is that in your hand? Beer?

Cousin River and Papa!


Who knew roasting Marshmellows could be so much fun.


















Tractor rides with Papa are fun!








Breakfast of Champions!!


Ryan helped Grandma water her flowers.



Ryan was so tired at Grandma Lois and Papa's home he fell asleep in the entryway.

Andy fishing... before Ryan... LOL.. when he used to catch fish. :) Just kidding!
