My Favorite Place With My Favorite Oldest Daughter

More Summer Fun

 Tennis....

 Swimming...

 Library programs (this one included a fun inflatable planetarium)....

 Horseback riding....

Ice Skating, Whidbey Island, and Mt. Rainier

 Rachel, Yuna, and Chiho enjoyed ice skating while my other two girls had a blast at VBS.

 We all enjoyed a hedge maze followed by Deception Pass.

 We had fun exploring Fort Casey.

 Of course the girls had to do a few cartwheels.

 And explore the lighthouse...

 And play at the beach...

 A surprise visitor...

 Ferry ride home...

 The next day, we hiked around Naches Peak.  There were quite a few snow fields that the girls had fun playing in. The wildflowers were not in full bloom yet, but the bear grass was out. The views of Mt. Rainier were spectacular. What a great day!

 We had a great view of Mt. Adams too.

More Adventures

 The girls made lovely viruses and bacteria at a library program about germs.

 Our exchange students brought some candy to make that looked like sushi when they were finished.

 The finished product....

 We also played a bunch of games including "The Great Dalmuti."

 We ended up at the Children's Museum because the weather was horrible. Too much rain, thunder, and lightning for Jetty Island which was our original plan.

 The girls were excited about Burger King hamburgers.

 Bowling was fun and Rachel was excited that she broke 100.

Fun times for sure!!
