More fun with Granny & Grandad... and Beth!

My Mum, Dad and cousin's daughter Beth, came over to see us!  We had a very busy trip planned!  First stop... Whidbey Island for some fun on the beach with friends.
Beth, Anna and Kayle had a great time covering themselves in clay!


Beth got to fish too!

I love my Daddy!

It was so nice getting to hang out and relax with friends!


We also got to go to the zoo in Seattle with Hannah and Thea who were also over from England.

We had a great time looking at all the animals.


Beth and Kayle got to touch a little lizard while at the zoo!

Beth was loving all the American food.  She picked some fun cereal!

We also took a day and went into Seattle.  We went to Pike's Place Market and up the Space Needle.

Beth and Kayle had fun posing outside the EMP at the base of the Needle.

Getting ready to head up the Needle.

Heading up.... higher and higher...

At the top...

Once we were done up the Needle, we went to this fantastic glass exhibition.  I have never seen anything like it before.  I guess the artist is really famous, but I can't seem to remember his name!

We also went to the North Bend Farmers Market and got some beautiful flowers and shaved ice.


Strawberry Daquiris were on the menu too!  (Of course the girls were virgin!)

Ours weren't though!

Beth thought it was really scary that we have bear warnings by our bins!

We had to hit the Irish Bar in honor of Jenny... and have a pint of Guiness!

Shopping was also on the list of fun things to do!




Swimming in our pool was also on our list of fun things to do.  Kayle had so much fun playing with her Grandad in the pool!  She has really got confident in the water.



Next stop... the Great Wheel on the docks of Seattle.  We had never been on here either, so it was all new to us.

It was a bit high up... and scary!






But, we all had lots of fun!

Our time together was amazing... as always!  I love it when my parents come to visit!
