Some shots from Washington

Here is a look into parts of our week in Washington. The boys were so happy to spend time with cousins, aunts and uncles, Grammies, Grammas and Gr Grs. We are so glad they had so much special family time, during a time when we all realized even more how important family relationships are. We enjoyed lots of yummy breakfasts with Grammy and the rest of the clan, and enjoyed time with Gr Gr Bessie also.

As always, we enjoyed spending lots of time by the water. We'd never seen a windstorm like this one on the lake. It was beautiful. Watch out for falling branches! We also spent an afternoon at a small aquarium down by the BIG water of Bellingham Bay with fun touch-tanks where we saw the shy octopus come out from behind his rock... amazing! And Justise picked up a big dungeness crab... brave! The kids loved it and never wanted to leave until we took them out on the dock and saw a Coast Guard ship leaving. It was so cool!
