July 22-28, 2012

Seattle Science Center





So appropriate... Aiden's nickname is 'naked mole rat'!

Looking at butterflies

My beautiful niece!


Very interesting IMAX movie about mummies!




Tacoma Zoo








Mt. Rainier is in the background






Right when I went to take a picture Whitney tries this move and gets in trouble!

The best part of the day: the kids got to throw the frisbee to their show dog

As the kids say "party rockin in the living room!"


Alki beach




Looking for treasures

The coldest water I have ever felt in my LIFE!!

We didn't even bring suits, I thought it was too cold.  I thought we would just sit on our blanket and have a nice quiet (clean) lunch... ha!  I was sooooo wrong!!







Connor is AWESOME!!



We really lucked out...  it was almost 80 degrees and sunny. A beautiful day in Seattle!

In the rental car driving from Seattle to Moscow to see the rest of the family!


Had to stop to take a picture... it was beautiful!  Connor was the only one that would get out with me.
We brought Tamara with us so all the cousins could be together
Moscow


As soon as we got there all the kids went straight to the trampoline

I finally got to meet my new niece who was born while we were in Germany

It was fun to have so many cousins.  Everyone has grown up so much since we last saw them!

Sleeping on the trampoline

They love guitar hero!!

We spent the day at the waterpark






Heather and her family came with a new nephew who was also born while we were gone

Priest River
After spending a couple of days in Moscow we drove to Priest River to spend time at my parent's house.  It was also Timber days, which is the annual fest for Priest River.


We ran into a little boy who Connor played with when he was in my Mom's kindergarten class for a couple of months.  


After the fest we spent the rest of the day at Riley Creek.  It was a nice day!
