Washington Day 4 (part 2)

There's never a dull moment at grandma and grandpa's house.  They've got so many fun things to do!  There are zip lines, quads, motorcycles, frisbee golf, roof ball, pickle ball, games, movies, slip'n slide and more.  They've made it grandkid heaven!

Washington Day 3

We made it to the temple
to do baptisms...

and to the gum wall,
where we each made a contribution.

and the big fountain near the space needle

and the Space Needle

and the Nike store.
Yes, we were on the ground,
the ceiling was so cool!

Washington Day 2

Day 2 we hit the lake with Andrew and his big new beautiful boat.  We got to see the skills Ayz, Reyn and Tiago have been learning over the years.  Reyn has gotten so good at wake surfing, she was able to get Q up with her.  It was amazing!

 

Ben got up on his 2nd try.  

First time up for Alyssa

truly remarkable!

We also did some tubing, fun!

Washington Day 1

We made our yearly summer trip to Washington.  Because Q had football tryouts the night we were planning to leave, we didn't hit the road until 9pm.  Around 2:30am, we stopped at an old Motel 6 to get some sleep.  Not sure it was worth the money, in our room, there were flies that kept landing on my face and buzzing past our ears.  None of us felt well rested the next morning. 

First Stop, Multnomah Falls,
gorgeous as usual.

Once we arrived, we thought we would cool 
down on the river.  It was unusually warm 
for Washington.

A Parting Gift

Holly decided to live with her dad until she graduates high school.  As a parting gift, she gave Qyntn a leopard gecko which made him so happy!  Ben and I didn't want another pet, but what could we do.  Welcome to the family Liz.
