Amy and Kids visit

Summer Break in California
Amy, Cade, and Claire came up for 
a visit.  Claire had volleyball this summer
so she and Amy had to go home after a week
and Cade stayed on for another week
 She's Bad
First things first when you get to Washington
 4th of July at Jan and Doug's
Always a great display over the water
Then off to Pemlinger Farms for Ellie's Birthday
and of course cake
 Back to our house before Claire and Amy had to leave
Cade learned how to load ammunition 
 While Claire visited the local pet store
 We went kayaking for a couple hours


 Then off to Pizza at the best place in town
and of course Dairy Queen
Is that Yoda?
We headed to Seattle on the ferry to meet up with
 Auntie Brooke and family for lunch at Ivar's
(the seagulls were pretty noisy huh Pete?)
 a walk on the waterfront
 up to Pike Place Market and the Gum Wall
 After Amy and Claire left we took Cade to
Aunt Marci and Uncle Bruce's house
 So he and Jake could get some rock chucks
First one right out the gate
 Cade, Jake, Sam and Grampa
 Jake got one the next day
 Home again for some projects
 and fun!  Cade's now riding the motorbike on his own
Watch Out!
 Even learned how to change a tire.  That's what happens 
when you run over a nail
 Some down time
 and right back at it

 No time for cleaning
 And off to the airport for his first solo flight
 Yikes!!
 His cute bacon and egg socks
 Sniff, sniff were going to miss him
He had to walk outside downstairs, along the covered
walkway on the lower left and turn right down the 
middle of the picture and out to the airplane whose
tail you can see behind the 'A' on the plane in the front
Yikes!
 Then home just as we were getting home
We had a blast with this guy!
Thanks for Sharing Amy

Ellie's 6th Birthday

We went to Woodinville to help
Ellie celebrate her 6th birhday.
Cade, Claire, Amy, Grammy,
and Gramps came up from 
California to help her.
 Pemlinger Farms was the birthday destination
 Crazy mirror
 It was geared mostly for the littles but it 
gave the bigger kids a chance to be little once more

 She's a natural


 Precious
 Yikes
Double yikes
 The old train ride thru the park

wooooooh,  woooooooh
 Pete really liked driving the fire engine
 There were a few rides for the big kids too




 Who is driving this car?
 and this one?
 No really this one?
 Girls out for a birthday drive
 Cade and Claire liked this one too

 Tried to get a new group picture and one doesn't cooperate
 Toooo cute!
 Yahoo

These boards were too cute to pass up
 AWwww

 Birthday Girl
 She's been getting her picture in this Tshirt for 5 years
It keeps shrinking
 Badminton game from Cade and Claire
 Dinner outside
It was a gorgeous day
 The cake was beautiful
Ellie did the decorating

 Just a funny face picture 
The cake was not sour at all
It was Finger lickin' good!!

A very fun day.  I think everyone enjoyed themselves
Happy 6th Birthday, Ellie!
