We visited with family and friends in Seattle, we took the ferry from Anacortes to Sidney B.C. and spent the night in Victoria B.C., we visited the Butchart Gardens and saw the awesome fireworks show, we went camping on San Juan Island in Friday Harbor and we also camped at Moran State Park on Orcas Island. We played on the beach on Orcas in East Sound and also at Deception Pass State Park. Then we spent the night in a hotel in Fife and went swimming in the swimming pool. We were all having so much fun that we did not want to come home!

Eva and Hanna did an excellent job performing the routine that they have been praciticing for the last eight months with the rest of thier class. They all work really hard and had a great time. It really showed when they danced that they were having a great time. The girls love dancing so much that I have signed them up for classes again next year.

Field Day @BBC!!!

2007-06-17T22:11:00.000-07:00

I helped out this year at Field Day for the kids school. It was tons of fun! The day started out rainy, so I thought we would all be soked and misserable. But the rain stopped just in time for the fun to begin. The ground was super slippery though, so the kids were slipping and sliding all over the place. They didn't seem to mind to much.

Boxcar Children @ The Keller Auditorium

We went to see the Boxcar children downtown Portland on Saturday. It was so much fun. They had a model train set up in the lobby of the auditorium and they wanted you to try and find the Boxcar Chidren.

We found them! AJ loves the trains. He didn't want to leave.

Here are the kids on top of the fountain in front of the Keller Auditorium. It was a very warm day and there were tons of kids playing in the water. My kids were good and didn't get too wet.

We had such a great time at the beach on Wednesday and Thursday! We had Beautiful weather. I couldn't believe our luck. It was almost like summer. We were only there for about 24 hours but we sure got to do a lot of fun activities in that short amount of time. It was a trip we will always remember.

AJ was pretty scared of the Elephants up close, but as long as we were holding him he was OK.

My friend Kris got some free kids passes for the Circus, so she invited us to go with them. we all had a lot of fun. We saw all kinds of animal acts, Lions, Tigers, Bears, Ponies, Dogs and Elephants. The People were so talented. They could do some incredible things. We were all very impressed.
