Lake Sammamish

It was a gorgeous day and the water was perfect.

This boy is always good for taking a selfie with me

 Penny got a little tired but liked it for the most part.

Afterwards Husband and I stopped by the Issaquah's little Swedish candy shop for a little break from the 24/7 time with the kids.

Hiking back in May

I recently found a folder of photos from a hike we did back in May. Brian and Dantzel came to visit so we went to the wind caves.

This kid did not want to sit in the hiking backpack. He also didn't want to hold anyone's hand

This is the face that convinced other hikers to give him a giant handful of jellybeans

And not to be out down...

Pacific Science Center

One perk of having a science center membership is that you get to use it at other science centers, like the fun one in Seattle.

M spent most of the time in this "ellacopteh"

I love water tables!

For some reason, AZ museums don't have tide pool exhibits. It's like we aren't close to the ocean or something :)

The cutest astronaut.

We have a picture of J in this exhibit too. Look how time she is!

The dinos wanted to taste a little Penny.

Here is Penny

And a little throw back to J

And now

 So we threw M in the picture too. Even strangers were taking pictures of the cuteness :)

They had a butterfly exhibit with the BIGGEST and most gorgeous species the size of your palm.

"Budda-f-eye!

This is the closest we got to the space needle and J recognized the "spaceship" from her books and other pictures.

Then we walked down to this really fun public fountain that places to music and the kids played in the water.

It was a really fun and very tiring day and the kids fell asleep on the ride some, M with his hand in the popcorn bag :)

Blueberry picking

So we left of almost a month ago in Salt Lake. So right back to the Epic Roadtrip! After Salt Lake we stayed a night in Boise and waxed nostalgic at Fanci Freeze. We loved going there when we lived in Boise as newlyweds. 

Fry Sauce!

We also took a little break at Dead Man's Pass

Then we headed on to Seattle and meant my lovely new niece! Washington has the most amazing blueberries so we went and picked some at a nearby farm.  Really folks, fresh blueberries are the difference between a sunkist orange from the grocery store and one fresh from the tree in AZ. There is just no comparison.

M wanted to sit an remove every berry from a bush before moving on. He took the job quite seriously and didn't ever want to leave.
